1 Thus says the Lord: Heaven is My throne,and the earth is My footstool.Where then is the house that you could build for Me?And where is the place of My rest?
2 For My hand made all those things,thus all those things have come to be,says the Lord. But to this man I will look,even to him who is poor and of a contrite spirit,and trembles at My word.
3 He who kills a bullis as if he kills 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.They have chosen their own ways,and their soul delights in their abominations;
4 I also will choose their punishmentsand will bring their fears on them,because when I called, no one answered;when I spoke, they did not listen;but they did evil before My eyesand chose that in which I did not delight.
