Isaiah 66:3-5

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³ “He who slaughters an ox is like him who kills a man;
    he who sacrifices a lamb, like him who breaks a dog’s neck;
he who presents a cereal offering, like him who offers swine’s blood;
    he who makes a memorial offering of frankincense, like him who blesses an idol.
These have chosen their own ways,
    and their soul delights in their abominations;
⁴ I also will choose affliction for them,
    and bring their fears upon them;
because, when I called, no one answered,
    when I spoke they did not listen;
but they did what was evil in my eyes,
    and chose that in which I did not delight.”
