Isaiah 66:3-6
Legacy Standard Bible
3 “But he who slaughters an ox is the one who strikes down a man;
He who sacrifices a lamb is the one who breaks a dog’s neck;
He who offers a grain offering is the one who offers (A)swine’s blood;
He who (B)offers a memorial offering of frankincense is the one who blesses wickedness.
As they have chosen their (C)own ways,
And their soul takes pleasure in their (D)detestable things,
4 So I will (E)choose their [a]punishments
And will (F)bring on them what they dread,
Because I called, but (G)no one answered;
I spoke, but they did not listen.
And they did what was (H)evil in My eyes
And chose that in which I did not take pleasure.”
5 Hear the word of Yahweh, you who (I)tremble at His word:
“Your brothers who (J)hate you, who (K)exclude you for My name’s sake,
Have said, ‘Let Yahweh be glorified, that we may see your gladness.’
But (L)they will be put to shame.
6 A voice of rumbling from the city, a voice from the temple,
The voice of Yahweh who is (M)paying recompense to His enemies.

Evangelical Heritage Version
Isaiah 66:3-6
Evangelical Heritage Version
3 One who slaughters an ox, also smites a person.
One who sacrifices a lamb, also breaks the neck of a dog.
One who offers a grain offering, also offers the blood of pigs.
One who offers memorial incense, also blesses a useless idol.
Yes, they have chosen their own ways,
and their soul delights in their detestable things.
4 So I myself will choose their punishments,
and the things that terrify them I will bring to them,
because I called, and there was no one who answered.
I spoke, and they did not listen.
They did what is evil in my eyes,
and they chose things that do not please me.
5 Hear the word of the Lord, you who tremble at his word.
Your brothers, who hate you
and exclude you for the sake of my name, say:
“Let the Lord be glorified so that we may see your joy.”
But they themselves will be put to shame.
6 Listen! An uproar in the city,
the sound of an uproar from the temple,
the sound of the Lord repaying his enemies in full!
Isaiah 66:3-6
New International Version
Isaiah 66:3-6
New International Version
3 But whoever sacrifices a bull(A)
is like one who kills a person,
and whoever offers a lamb
is like one who breaks a dog’s neck;
whoever makes a grain offering
is like one who presents pig’s(B) blood,
and whoever burns memorial incense(C)
is like one who worships an idol.
They have chosen their own ways,(D)
and they delight in their abominations;(E)
4 so I also will choose harsh treatment for them
and will bring on them what they dread.(F)
For when I called, no one answered,(G)
when I spoke, no one listened.
They did evil(H) in my sight
and chose what displeases me.”(I)
5 Hear the word of the Lord,
you who tremble at his word:(J)
“Your own people who hate(K) you,
and exclude you because of my name, have said,
‘Let the Lord be glorified,
that we may see your joy!’
Yet they will be put to shame.(L)
6 Hear that uproar from the city,
hear that noise from the temple!
It is the sound(M) of the Lord
repaying(N) his enemies all they deserve.
