Isaiah 66:1 in context

  1. 1Yahweh says,
    “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool.
    What kind of house will you build to me?
    Where will I rest?
  2. 2For my hand has made all these things,
    and so all these things came to be,” says Yahweh:
    “but I will look to this man,
    even to he who is poor and of a contrite spirit,
    and who trembles at my word.
  3. 3He 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:
