Isaiah 66:5

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.

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.

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.”

A voice of tumult from the city,

a voice from the temple,

a voice of the LORD that repays his enemies what they deserve.

“Before she travailed, she gave birth.

Before her pain came, she delivered a son.

Who has heard of such a thing?

Who has seen such things?

Shall a land be born in one day?

Shall a nation be born at once?

For as soon as Zion travailed,

she gave birth to her children.
