One who kills an ox
    is like one who kills a man;
one who sacrifices a lamb
    is like one who breaks a dog’s neck;
one who offers a grain offering
    is like one who offers swine’s blood;
one who burns incense
    is like one who blesses an idol.
They have chosen their own ways,
so their soul delights in their abominations.
So I will choose their punishments
and bring on them what they dread.
For when I called, no one answered;
when I spoke, they did not listen.
But they did what was evil in My eyes,
and chose what I did not delight in.
Hear the word of Adonai,
you who tremble at His word:
“Your brothers who hated you,
    excluding you for My Name’s sake, have said,
‘Let Adonai be glorified,
    that we may see your joy’—
but they will be put to shame.”
