Isaiah 66:4
New American Standard Bible
4 So I will (A)choose their [a]punishments
And (B)bring on them what they dread.
Because I called, but (C)no one answered;
I spoke, but they did not listen.
Instead, they did (D)evil in My sight
And chose that in which I did not delight.”

Footnotes
- Isaiah 66:4 tn The precise meaning of the noun is uncertain. It occurs only here and in 3:4 (but see the note there). It appears to be derived from the verbal root עָלַל (ʿalal), which can carry the nuance “deal severely.”
- Isaiah 66:4 tn Heb “that which is evil in my eyes.”
