³ “But the one who slaughters an ox is like one who kills a person;
The one who sacrifices a lamb is like one who breaks a dog’s neck;
One who offers a grain offering is like one who offers ^(A)pig’s blood;
One who ^[a](B)burns incense is like one who blesses an idol.
As they have chosen their ^(C)own ways,
And their souls delight in their ^(D)abominations,

^6 (A)With what shall I come to the Lord
And bow myself before the God on high?
Shall I come to Him with ^(B)burnt offerings,
With yearling calves?
⁷ Does the Lord take pleasure in ^(C)thousands of rams,
In ten thousand rivers of ^[a]oil?
Shall I give Him my ^(D)firstborn for my wrongdoings,
The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
