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.

Isaiah 66:3-6
American Standard Version
3 He that killeth an ox is as he that slayeth a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as he that breaketh a dog’s neck; he that offereth [a]an oblation, as he that offereth swine’s blood; he that [b]burneth frankincense, as he that blesseth an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations: 4 I also will choose their [c]delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did that which was evil in mine eyes, and chose that wherein I delighted not.
5 Hear the word of Jehovah, ye that tremble at his word: Your brethren that hate you, that cast you out for my name’s sake, have said, Let Jehovah be glorified, that we may see your joy; but it is they that shall be put to shame. 6 A voice of tumult from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of Jehovah that rendereth recompense to his enemies.
