Isaiah 66:2-4
Holman Christian Standard Bible
2 My hand made all these things,
and so they all came into being.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
I will look favorably on this kind of person:
one who is humble,(A) submissive[a] in spirit,(B)
and trembles at My word.
3 One slaughters an ox, one kills a man;
one sacrifices a lamb, one breaks a dog’s neck;
one offers a grain offering, one offers pig’s blood;
one offers incense, one praises an idol—
all these have chosen their ways
and delight in their detestable practices.(C)
4 So I will choose their punishment,
and I will bring on them what they dread
because I called and no one answered;
I spoke and they didn’t hear;
they did what was evil in My sight
and chose what I didn’t delight in.(D)

Isaiah 66:2-4
New International Version
2 Has not my hand made all these things,(A)
and so they came into being?”
declares the Lord.
“These are the ones I look on with favor:
those who are humble and contrite in spirit,(B)
and who tremble at my word.(C)
3 But whoever sacrifices a bull(D)
is like one who kills a person,
and whoever offers a lamb
is like one who breaks a dog’s neck;
whoever makes a grain offering
is like one who presents pig’s(E) blood,
and whoever burns memorial incense(F)
is like one who worships an idol.
They have chosen their own ways,(G)
and they delight in their abominations;(H)
4 so I also will choose harsh treatment for them
and will bring on them what they dread.(I)
For when I called, no one answered,(J)
when I spoke, no one listened.
They did evil(K) in my sight
and chose what displeases me.”(L)
