Isaiah 66:3 (100.00%)

He who kills an ox is as he who kills a man; he who sacrifices a lamb, as he who breaks a dog’s neck; he who offers an offering, as he who offers pig’s blood; he who burns frankincense, as he who blesses an idol. Yes, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations.

He that killeth H7819 (8802) an ox H7794 [is as if] he slew H5221 (8688) a man H376; he that sacrificeth H2076 (8802) a lamb H7716, [as if] he cut off H6202 a dog’s H3611 neck H6202 (8802); he that offereth H5927 (8688) an oblation H4503, [as if he offered] swine’s H2386 blood H1818; he that burneth H2142 (8688) incense H3828, [as if] he blessed H1288 (8764) an idol H205. Yea, they have chosen H977 (8804) their own ways H1870, and their soul H5315 delighteth H2654 (8804) in their abominations H8251.

Whoso slaughtereth the ox smiteth a man, Whoso sacrificeth the lamb beheadeth a dog, Whoso is bringing up a present- The blood of a sow, Whoso is making mention of frankincense, Is blessing iniquity. Yea, they have fixed on their own ways, And in their abominations their soul hath delighted.

To whom do I speak, and testify, and they hear? Lo, their ear is uncircumcised, And they are not able to attend. Lo, a word of Jehovah hath been to them for a reproach, They delight not in it.
