Isaiah 66:3-6
Expanded Bible
3 But those people who kill bulls as a sacrifice to me
are like those who kill people.
Those who kill sheep as a sacrifice
are like those who break the necks of dogs.
Those who give me ·grain [L gift; tribute] offerings [Lev. 2:1]
are like those who offer me the blood of pigs [C dogs and pigs were ritually unclean animals and were forbidden as sacrifices].
Those who burn incense
are like those who worship idols [C their rituals were no better than pagan worship because their hearts were not right with God].
These people choose their own ways, not mine,
and they ·love [delight in] ·the terrible things they do [their abominations].
4 So I will choose ·their punishments [harsh treatment for them],
and I will punish them with what they fear most.
This is because I called to them, but they did not listen.
I spoke to them, but they did not hear me.
They did things I said were evil;
they chose to do things I did not ·like [delight in].”
5 You people who ·obey the words of the Lord [L tremble at his word],
listen to what he says:
“Your brothers hated you
and ·turned against [excluded; cast out] you because ·you followed me [L of my name].
Your brothers said, ‘Let the Lord be ·honored [glorified]
so we may see ·you rejoice [your joy],’
but they will be ·punished [L put to shame].
6 ·Listen to the loud noise coming [L A sound of uproar…!] from the city;
hear the ·noise [or voice] from the Temple.
It is the [L voice/sound of the] Lord ·punishing [repaying] his enemies,
giving them the punishment they deserve.
Isaiah 66:3-6
New American Standard Bible
Hypocrisy Rebuked
3 “But the one who slaughters an ox is like one who kills a person;
The one who sacrifices a lamb is like one who breaks a dog’s neck;
One who offers a grain offering is like one who offers (A)pig’s blood;
One who [a](B)burns incense is like one who blesses an idol.
As they have chosen their (C)own ways,
And their souls delight in their (D)abominations,
4 So I will (E)choose their [b]punishments
And (F)bring on them what they dread.
Because I called, but (G)no one answered;
I spoke, but they did not listen.
Instead, they did (H)evil in My sight
And chose that in which I did not delight.”
5 Hear the word of the Lord, you who (I)tremble at His word:
“Your brothers who (J)hate you, who (K)exclude you on account of My name,
Have said, ‘Let the Lord be glorified, so that we may see your joy.’
But (L)they will be put to shame.
6 A sound of uproar from the city, a voice from the temple,
The voice of the Lord who is (M)dealing retribution to His enemies.
