Isaiah 66:2–5

²“For ^aMy hand made all these things,

Thus all these things came into being,” declares Yahweh.

“But to this one I will look,

To him who is humble and ^bcontrite of spirit, and who ^ctrembles at My word.

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 ^aswine’s blood;

He who ^boffers a memorial offering of frankincense is the one who blesses wickedness.

As they have chosen their ^cown ways,

And their soul takes pleasure in their ^ddetestable things,

⁴So I will ^achoose their ¹punishments

And will ^bbring on them what they dread,

Because I called, but ^cno one answered;

I spoke, but they did not listen.

And they did what was ^devil in My eyes

And chose that in which I did not take pleasure.”

⁵Hear the word of Yahweh, you who ^atremble at His word:

“Your brothers who ^bhate you, who ^cexclude you for My name’s sake,

Have said, ‘Let Yahweh be glorified, that we may see your gladness.’

But ^dthey will be put to shame.
