⁹ One who turns away his ear from hearing the law,
^(A)Even his prayer is an abomination.

^27 (A)The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination;
How much more when he brings it with wicked intent!

^8 (A)The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord,
But the prayer of the upright is His delight.

³ “He^(A) who kills a bull is as if he slays a man;
He who sacrifices a lamb, as if he ^(B)breaks a dog’s neck;
He who offers a grain offering, as if he offers swine’s blood;
He who burns incense, as if he blesses an idol.
Just as they have chosen their own ways,
And their soul delights in their abominations,
