Verse 3
Isaiah 66:3
Free Bible Version
3
When someone sacrifices a bull it's like human sacrifice, and when someone sacrifices a lamb, it's like breaking the neck of a dog. When they present a grain offering it's like presenting pig's blood, and when they burn incense it's like worshiping an idol. Since they have chosen to act like this and to love such disgusting things,

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.
