The one who slaughters a bull also strikes down a man; the one who sacrifices a lamb also breaks a dog’s neck; the one who presents an offering includes pig’s blood with it; the one who offers incense also praises an idol. They have decided to behave this way; they enjoy these disgusting practices.

假冒为善的宰牛，好像杀人，献羊羔，好像打折狗项，献供物，好像献猪血，烧乳香，好像称颂偶像。这等人拣选自己的道路，心里喜悦行可憎恶的事。

“至于那些宰牛，杀人，献羔羊，打断狗颈项，献猪血为供物，烧乳香，称颂偶像的，他们选择自己的道路，心里喜爱可憎恶的事；

“至于那些宰牛，杀人，献羔羊，打断狗颈项，献猪血为供物，烧乳香，称颂偶像的，他们选择自己的道路，心里喜爱可憎恶的事；

“至于那些任意妄为、以行可憎之事为乐、宰牛就像杀人、献羊羔就像打断狗颈、献谷物就像献猪血、烧香就像颂赞偶像的人，

宰牛献祭，又杀人，献羊羔为祭，又打折狗的颈项；献上素祭，又献上猪血；烧乳香作记念祭，又称颂虚无之神；他们选择他们自己的道路，他们的心里喜悦他们那些可憎恶的事。

至于那些宰杀公牛也击杀人的，祭献羔羊也打断狗脖子的，献上供物也献上猪血的，烧乳香作记念祭也颂赞偶像的——他们都选择自己的道路，他们的心喜悦自己那些可憎之事；

假冒為善的宰牛，好像殺人，獻羊羔，好像打折狗項，獻供物，好像獻豬血，燒乳香，好像稱頌偶像。這等人揀選自己的道路，心裏喜悅行可憎惡的事。

「至於那些宰牛，殺人，獻羔羊，打斷狗頸項，獻豬血為供物，燒乳香，稱頌偶像的，他們選擇自己的道路，心裏喜愛可憎惡的事；

「至於那些宰牛，殺人，獻羔羊，打斷狗頸項，獻豬血為供物，燒乳香，稱頌偶像的，他們選擇自己的道路，心裏喜愛可憎惡的事；

「至於那些任意妄為、以行可憎之事為樂、宰牛就像殺人、獻羊羔就像打斷狗頸、獻穀物就像獻豬血、燒香就像頌讚偶像的人，

宰牛獻祭，又殺人，獻羊羔為祭，又打折狗的頸項；獻上素祭，又獻上豬血；燒乳香作記念祭，又稱頌虛無之神；他們選擇他們自己的道路，他們的心裡喜悅他們那些可憎惡的事。

『嘿，宰牛的、殺人的、宰獻小羊的、打折狗脖子的、獻上素祭的、獻上豬血的、燒乳香為表樣的、祝頌「無有」之神的：嘿，這些人呢、選擇他們自己的路，他們心裏喜悅他們那些可憎惡的事。

至於那些宰殺公牛也擊殺人的，祭獻羔羊也打斷狗脖子的，獻上供物也獻上豬血的，燒乳香作記念祭也頌讚偶像的——他們都選擇自己的道路，他們的心喜悅自己那些可憎之事；

彼宰牛如殺人、供羔如折犬項、獻祭如奉豕血、焚香如頌偶像者、皆自擇其途、心悅可惡之事、

彼縱私心、以何惡之事為悅、故宰牛刲羊、與殺人斬犬無異、獻禮焚香與塗豕血、祈偶像無異。

惟不信我者、宰牛不異不異或作亦復下同殺人、宰羊不異斷犬項、獻素祭不異獻豕血、焚香不異頌偶像、彼樂從己道、心悅可憎之事、

But whoever sacrifices a bull is like one who kills a person, and whoever offers a lamb is like one who breaks a dog’s neck; whoever makes a grain offering is like one who presents pig’s blood, and whoever burns memorial incense is like one who worships an idol. They have chosen their own ways, and they delight in their abominations;

But others are not like that. They sacrifice bulls to me, but at the same time they kill people. They offer lambs to me, but they also sacrifice dogs to other gods. They bring grain offerings to me, but they also offer pig’s blood to other gods. They burn incense to me, but they also worship statues of gods. They have chosen to go their own way. They take delight in things I hate.

“ He who slaughters an ox is like one who kills a man; he who sacrifices a lamb, like one who breaks a dog’s neck; he who presents a grain offering, like one who offers pig’s blood; he who makes a memorial offering of frankincense, like one who blesses an idol. These have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations;

But those who choose their own ways— delighting in their detestable sins— will not have their offerings accepted. When such people sacrifice a bull, it is no more acceptable than a human sacrifice. When they sacrifice a lamb, it’s as though they had sacrificed a dog! When they bring an offering of grain, they might as well offer the blood of a pig. When they burn frankincense, it’s as if they had blessed an idol.

One person slaughters an ox, another kills a person; one person sacrifices a lamb, another breaks a dog’s neck; one person offers a grain offering, another offers pig’s blood; one person offers incense, another praises an idol— all these have chosen their ways and delight in their abhorrent practices.

“ But the one who slaughters an ox is like one who kills a person; The one who sacrifices a lamb is like one who breaks a dog’s neck; One who offers a grain offering is like one who offers pig’s blood; One who burns incense is like one who blesses an idol. As they have chosen their own ways, And their souls delight in their abominations,

“ He who kills a bull is as if he slays a man; He who sacrifices a lamb, as if he breaks a dog’s neck; He who offers a grain offering, as if he offers swine’s blood; He who burns incense, as if he blesses an idol. Just as they have chosen their own ways, And their soul delights in their abominations,

He that killeth an ox is as he that slayeth a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as he that breaketh a dog’s neck; he that offereth an oblation, as he that offereth swine’s blood; he that burneth frankincense, as he that blesseth an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations:

One slaughters an ox, one kills a man; one sacrifices a lamb, one breaks a dog’s neck; one offers a grain offering, one offers pig’s blood; one offers incense, one praises an idol— all these have chosen their ways and delight in their detestable practices.

He that killeth an ox[ is as if] he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb,[ as if] he cut off a dog’s neck; he that offereth an oblation,[ as if he offered] swine’s blood; he that burneth incense,[ as if] he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations.

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:

“ Of what importance to me are your many sacrifices?” says the LORD.“ I am stuffed with burnt sacrifices of rams and the fat from steers. The blood of bulls, lambs, and goats I do not want.When you enter my presence, do you actually think I want this– animals trampling on my courtyards?Do not bring any more meaningless offerings; I consider your incense detestable! You observe new moon festivals, Sabbaths, and convocations, but I cannot tolerate sin-stained celebrations!I hate your new moon festivals and assemblies; they are a burden that I am tired of carrying.When you spread out your hands in prayer, I look the other way; when you offer your many prayers, I do not listen, because your hands are covered with blood.

I predestine you to die by the sword, all of you will kneel down at the slaughtering block, because I called to you, and you did not respond, I spoke and you did not listen. You did evil before me; you chose to do what displeases me.”

“ I absolutely despise your festivals! I get no pleasure from your religious assemblies!Even if you offer me burnt and grain offerings, I will not be satisfied; I will not look with favor on your peace offerings of fattened calves.

The LORD abhors the sacrifices of the wicked, but the prayer of the upright pleases him.

Then he must bring it to the sons of Aaron, the priests, and the priest must scoop out from there a handful of its choice wheat flour and some of its olive oil in addition to all of its frankincense, and the priest must offer its memorial portion up in smoke on the altar– it is a gift of a soothing aroma to the LORD.

“ As for those who consecrate and ritually purify themselves so they can follow their leader and worship in the sacred orchards, those who eat the flesh of pigs and other disgusting creatures, like mice– they will all be destroyed together,” says the LORD.

Also the pig is ritually impure to you; though it has divided hooves, it does not chew the cud. You may not eat their meat or even touch their remains.

These people continually and blatantly offend me as they sacrifice in their sacred orchards and burn incense on brick altars.They sit among the tombs and keep watch all night long. They eat pork, and broth from unclean sacrificial meat is in their pans.

Go and cry for help to the gods you have chosen! Let them deliver you from trouble!”

The wicked person’s sacrifice is an abomination; how much more when he brings it with evil intent!

God chose new leaders, then fighters appeared in the city gates; but, I swear, not a shield or spear could be found, among forty military units in Israel.

I was angry because of their sinful greed; I attacked them and angrily rejected them, yet they remained disobedient and stubborn.

You must never bring the pay of a female prostitute or the wage of a male prostitute into the temple of the LORD your God in fulfillment of any vow, for both of these are abhorrent to the LORD your God.
