Isaiah 66:1-4
1ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: “1HeavenH8064 is My throneH3678 and the earthH776 is the footstoolH1916 for My feetH7272. WhereH335 thenH2088 is a 2houseH1004 you could buildH1129 for Me? And whereH335 is a placeH4725 that 3I may restH4496?2For 4My handH3027 madeH6213 allH3605 theseH428 thingsH428, So allH3605 theseH428 thingsH428 cameH1961 into beingH1961,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068. “But I will lookH5027 to thisH2088 oneH2088, At oneH6041 who is humbleH6041 and 5contriteH5223 in spiritH7307, and whoH2730 6tremblesH2730 at My wordH1697.
3“But the one who slaughtersH7819 an oxH7794 is like one who killsH5221 a personH376; The one who sacrificesH2076 a lambH7716 is like one who breaksH6202 a dog’sH3611 neckH6202; One who offersH5927 a grain offeringH4503 is like one who offers 7pig’sH2386 bloodH1818; One who 89burnsH2142 incenseH3828 is like one who blessesH1288 an idolH205. As they have chosenH977 their 10own waysH1870, And their soulsH5315 delightH2654 in their 11abominationsH8251,4SoH1571 I will 12chooseH977 their 13punishmentsH8586 And 14bringH935 on them whatH4034 they dreadH4034. BecauseH3282 I calledH7121, but 15noH369 oneH369 answeredH6030; I spokeH1696, but they did not listenH8085. Instead, they didH6213 16evilH7451 in My sightH5869 And choseH977 that in whichH834 I did not delightH2654.”
