And my hand has made all these things,
    and all these came to be,”[a]

declares[b] Yahweh, “but[c] I look to this one:

to the humble and the contrite of spirit
    and the one frightened at my word.
The one who slaughters a bull strikes a man;
    the one who slaughters a lamb for sacrifice breaks the neck of a dog.
The one who offers an offering, the blood of swine;
    the one who offers frankincense blesses an idol.
Indeed, they themselves have chosen their ways,
    and their soul delights in their abhorrence.
Indeed, I myself I will choose their ill treatment,
    and I will bring them objects of their dread,
because I called, and no one answered;[d]
    I spoke and they did not listen,
but[e] they did the evil in my eyes,
    and they chose that in which I do not delight.”
