Verse 3

Isaiah 66:3

Literal Standard Version

3 Whoever slaughters the ox strikes a man, || Whoever sacrifices the lamb beheads a dog, || Whoever is bringing up a present—The blood of a sow, || Whoever is making mention of frankincense, || Is blessing iniquity. Indeed, they have fixed on their own ways, || And their soul has delighted 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.
