Isaiah 66:1-3

International Children’s Bible

“The skies are my throne.
    The earth is my footstool.
So do you think you can build a house for me?
    There is no place where I need to rest.
² My hand made all things.
    All things are here because I made them,”
says the Lord.

“These are the people I am pleased with.
    They are those who are not proud or stubborn.
    They fear me and obey me.
³ But those people who kill bulls as a sacrifice to me
    are like those who kill men.
Those who kill sheep as a sacrifice to me
    are like those who break the necks of dogs.
Those who give me grain offerings
    are like those who offer me the blood of pigs.^[a]
Those who burn incense
    are like those who worship idols.
These people choose their own ways—not mine.
    They love the terrible things they do.
