3
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:
and hath not brought it unto the door of the tent of meeting, to offer it as an oblation unto Jehovah before the tabernacle of Jehovah: blood shall be imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people:
And the swine, because he parteth the hoof but cheweth not the cud, he is unclean unto you: of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcasses ye shall not touch.
What unto me is the multitude of your sacrifices? saith Jehovah: I have had enough of the burnt-offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he-goats.
Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; new moon and sabbath, the calling of assemblies,-- I cannot away with iniquity and the solemn meeting.
I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, that walk in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts;
that sit among the graves, and lodge in the secret places; that eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in (their own) counsels (and) in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.
leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way, first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
