Isaiah 66:2-4
Jubilee Bible 2000
2 For all these things my hand has made, by my hand has these things been, said the LORD; but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit and trembles at my word.
3 He that kills an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrifices a lamb as if he cut off a dog’s neck; he that offers an oblation as if he offered swine’s blood; he that burns incense as if he blessed iniquity. They have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations.
4 I also will choose their delusions and will bring their fears upon them because I called, and no one answered; I spoke, and they did not hear: but they did evil before my eyes and chose that which displeased me.

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)
