³ “He^(A) who kills a bull is as if he slays a man;
He who sacrifices a lamb, as if he ^(B)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.
Just as they have chosen their own ways,
And their soul delights in their abominations,

¹² “When you come ^(B)to appear before Me,
Who has required this from your hand,
To trample My courts?
¹³ Bring no more ^(C)futile^[a] sacrifices;
Incense is an abomination to Me.
The New Moons, the Sabbaths, and ^(D)the calling of assemblies—
I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred meeting.
¹⁴ Your ^(E)New Moons and your ^(F)appointed feasts
My soul hates;
They are a trouble to Me,
I am weary of bearing them.
^15 (G)When you ^[b]spread out your hands,
I will hide My eyes from you;
^(H)Even though you make many prayers,
I will not hear.
Your hands are full of ^[c]blood.

²¹ “I^(A) hate, I despise your feast days,
And ^(B)I do not savor your sacred assemblies.
^22 (C)Though you offer Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings,
I will not accept them,
Nor will I regard your fattened peace offerings.

^8 (A)The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord,
But the prayer of the upright is His delight.

¹⁷ “Those^(A) who sanctify themselves and purify themselves,
To go to the gardens
^[a]After an idol in the midst,
Eating swine’s flesh and the abomination and the mouse,
Shall ^[b]be consumed together,” says the Lord.
