Isaiah 66:3

King James Version (KJV)

He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine's blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations.

[The acts of the hypocrite's worship are as abominable to God as if they were offered to idols.] He who kills an ox [then] will be as guilty as if he slew {and} sacrificed a man; he who sacrifices a lamb {or} a kid, as if he broke a dog's neck {and} sacrificed him; he who offers a cereal offering, as if he offered swine's blood; he who burns incense [to God], as if he blessed an idol. [Such people] have chosen their own ways, and they delight in their abominations;

Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations:

Isaiah 66:3 - La Biblia de las Americas

El que mata un buey es como el que mata a un hombre,
el que sacrifica un cordero como el que desnuca un perro,
el que presenta ofrenda de cereal como el que ofrece sangre de cerdo,
el que quema incienso como el que bendice a un ìdolo.
Como ellos han escogido sus propios caminos,
y su alma se deleita en sus abominaciones,

Isaiah 66:3 - The Message

"Your acts of worship
   are acts of sin:
Your sacrificial slaughter of the ox
   is no different from murdering the neighbor;
Your offerings for worship,
   no different from dumping pig’s blood on the altar;
Your presentation of memorial gifts,
   no different from honoring a no-god idol.
You choose self-serving worship,
   you delight in self-centered worship—disgusting!
Well, I choose to expose your nonsense
   and let you realize your worst fears,
Because when I invited you, you ignored me;
   when I spoke to you, you brushed me off.
You did the very things I exposed as evil,
   you chose what I hate."

Isaiah 66:3 - New American Standard Bible

"{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} swine's blood; He who burns incense is {like} the one who blesses an idol. As they have chosen their {own} ways, And their soul delights in their abominations,

Isaiah 66:3 - Nueva Biblia Latinoamericana de Hoy

El que mata un buey es como el que mata a un hombre,
El que sacrifica un cordero como el que desnuca un perro,

El que quema incienso como el que bendice a un ìdolo.
Como ellos han escogido sus propios caminos,
Y su alma se deleita en sus abominaciones,

Isaiah 66:3 - World English Bible

He who kills an ox is as he who kills a man; he who sacrifices a lamb, as he who breaks a dog`s neck; he who offers an offering, [as he who offers] pig`s blood; he who burns frankincense, as he who blesses an idol. Yes, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations:

Isaiah 66:3 - Young's Living Translation

Whoso slaughtereth the ox smiteth a man, Whoso sacrificeth the lamb beheadeth a dog, Whoso is bringing up a present -- The blood of a sow, Whoso is making mention of frankincense, Is blessing iniquity. Yea, they have fixed on their own ways, And in their abominations their soul hath delighted.
