"But he who kills an ox is like one who slays a man; He who sacrifices a lamb is like the one who breaks a dog's neck; He who offers a grain offering is like one who offers ^(f)swine's blood; He who ^[b](g)burns incense is like the one who blesses an idol. As they have chosen their ^(h)own ways, And their soul delights in their ⁽ⁱ⁾abominations,

So I will ^(j)choose their ^[c]punishments And will ^(k)bring on them what they dread. Because I called, but ^(l)no one answered; I spoke, but they did not listen. And they did ^(m)evil in My sight And chose that in which I did not delight."

Hear the word of the Lord , you who ⁽ⁿ⁾tremble at His word: "Your brothers who ^(o)hate you, who ^(p)exclude you for My name's sake, Have said, ‘Let the Lord be glorified, that we may see your joy.' But ^(q)they will be put to shame.

"A voice of uproar from the city, a voice from the temple, The voice of the Lord who is ^(r)rendering recompense to His enemies.
