Isaiah 66:2-5
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
2 My hand made all these things,
and so they all came into being.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
I will look favourably on this kind of person:
one who is humble,(A) submissive[a] in spirit,(B)
and trembles at my word.
3 One person slaughters an ox, another kills a person;
one person sacrifices a lamb, another breaks a dog’s neck;
one person offers a grain offering, another offers pig’s blood;
one person offers incense, another praises an idol –
all these have chosen their ways
and delight in their abhorrent practices.(C)
4 So I will choose their punishment,
and I will bring on them what they dread
because I called and no one answered;
I spoke and they did not listen;
they did what was evil in my sight
and chose what I did not delight in.(D)
5 You who tremble at his word,(E)
hear the word of the Lord:(F)
‘Your brothers who hate and exclude you
for my name’s sake have said,(G)
“Let the Lord be glorified
so that we can see your joy! ”
But they will be put to shame.’(H)
