Isaiah 66:2-5

Christian Standard Bible

² My hand made all these things,
and so they all came into being.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
I will look favorably 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)
