For (A)My hand made all these things,
So all these things came into being,” declares the Lord.
“But I will look to this one,
At one who is humble and (B)contrite in spirit, and who (C)trembles at My word.

Hypocrisy Rebuked

But the one who slaughters an ox is like one who kills a person;
The 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 (D)pig’s blood;
One who [a](E)burns incense is like one who blesses an idol.
As they have chosen their (F)own ways,
And their souls delight in their (G)abominations,
So I will (H)choose their [b]punishments
And (I)bring on them what they dread.
Because I called, but (J)no one answered;
I spoke, but they did not listen.
Instead, they did (K)evil in My sight
And chose that in which I did not delight.”
