Verse 3
Isaiah 66:3
World English Bible, British Edition
3
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.

שׁוֹחֵ֨ט הַ/שּׁ֜וֹר מַכֵּה אִ֗ישׁ זוֹבֵ֤חַ הַ/שֶּׂה֙ עֹ֣רֵֽף כֶּ֔לֶב מַעֲלֵ֤ה מִנְחָה֙ דַּם חֲזִ֔יר מַזְכִּ֥יר לְבֹנָ֖ה מְבָ֣רֵֽךְ אָ֑וֶן גַּם הֵ֗מָּה בָּֽחֲרוּ֙ בְּ/דַרְכֵי/הֶ֔ם וּ/בְ/שִׁקּוּצֵי/הֶ֖ם נַפְשָׁ֥/ם חָפֵֽצָה
English Translation
The slaughterer of the ox strikes a person; the one who sacrifices the sheep severs the neck; the one who brings a meal offering offers blood; the pig's blood recalls the idol; the one who blesses is iniquity; also, they have chosen in their ways and in their abominations their souls desire.
