66:1 This is what the Lord says:
“The heavens are my throne
and the earth is my footstool.
Where then is the house you will build for me?
Where is the place where I will rest?
66:2 My hand made them; 1
that is how they came to be,” 2 says the Lord.
I show special favor 3 to the humble and contrite,
who respect what I have to say. 4
66:3 The one who slaughters a bull also strikes down a man; 5
the one who sacrifices a lamb also breaks a dog’s neck; 6
the one who presents an offering includes pig’s blood with it; 7
the one who offers incense also praises an idol. 8
They have decided to behave this way; 9
they enjoy these disgusting practices. 10
