Isaiah 66:2-5
English Standard Version
2 (A)All these things my hand has made,
and so all these things came to be,
declares the Lord.
(B)But this is the one to whom I will look:
he who is humble and contrite in spirit
and trembles at my word.
3 (C)“He who slaughters an ox is like one who kills a man;
he who sacrifices a lamb, like one who breaks a dog's neck;
he who presents a grain offering, like one who offers (D)pig's blood;
he who makes a memorial offering of frankincense, like one who blesses an idol.
(E)These have chosen their own ways,
and their soul delights in their abominations;
4 (F)I also will choose harsh treatment for them
and bring (G)their fears upon them,
(H)because when I called, no one answered,
when I spoke, they did not listen;
(I)but they did what was evil in my eyes
and chose that in which I did not delight.”
5 Hear the word of the Lord,
you who tremble at his word:
“Your brothers who hate you
and cast you out for my name's sake
have said, (J)‘Let the Lord be glorified,
that we may see your joy’;
but it is they who shall be put to shame.
