English Standard Version
3 (A)“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 (B)pig's blood;
he who makes a memorial offering of frankincense, like one who blesses an idol.

and their soul delights in their abominations;
4 (D)I also will choose harsh treatment for them
and bring (E)their fears upon them,

when I spoke, they did not listen;
(G)but they did what was evil in my eyes
and chose that in which I did not delight.”

24 (A)Because I have called and (B)you refused to listen,
have (C)stretched out my hand and no one has heeded,
25 because you have (D)ignored all my counsel
and (E)would have none of my reproof,
26 I also (F)will laugh at your calamity;
I will mock when (G)terror strikes you,
27 when terror strikes you like (H)a storm
and your calamity comes like a whirlwind,
when distress and anguish come upon you.
28 (I)Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer;
they will seek me diligently but will not find me.
29 Because they (J)hated knowledge
and (K)did not choose the fear of the Lord,
30 (L)would have none of my counsel
and (M)despised all my reproof,
31 therefore they shall eat (N)the fruit of their way,
and have (O)their fill of their own devices.

and (Q)the complacency of fools destroys them;

and will be (S)at ease, without dread of disaster.”
