For My hand made all those things,
    thus all those things have come to be,
    says the Lord.

But to this man I will look,
    even to him who is poor and of a contrite spirit,
    and trembles at My word.
He who kills a bull
    is as if he kills a man;
he who sacrifices a lamb,
    as if he breaks a dog’s neck;
he who offers a grain offering,
    as if he offers swine’s blood;
he who burns incense,
    as if he blesses an idol.
They have chosen their own ways,
    and their soul delights in their abominations;
I also will choose their punishments
    and will bring their fears on them,
because when I called, no one answered;
    when I spoke, they did not listen;
but they did evil before My eyes
    and chose that in which I did not delight.
