Isaiah 66:1 in context

Isaiah 66:1–4

1
Selected verse

The LORD says:

“Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool.

What kind of house will you build to me?

Where will I rest?

2

For my hand has made all these things,

and so all these things came to be,” says the LORD:

“but I will look to this man,

even to he who is poor and of a contrite spirit,

and who trembles at my word.

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.

4

I also will choose their delusions,

and will bring their fears on them,

because when I called, no one answered;

when I spoke, they didn’t listen,

but they did that which was evil in my eyes,

and chose that in which I didn’t delight.”
