Isaiah 66:4

Isaiah 66:4 in other translations

Isaiah 66:4 in context

1. 2For my hand has made all these things,
   and so all these things came to be,” says Yahweh:
   “but I will look to this man,
   even to he who is poor and of a contrite spirit,
   and who trembles at my word.
2. 3He 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:
3. 4I 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.”
4. 5Hear Yahweh’s word,
   you who tremble at his word:
   “Your brothers who hate you,
   who cast you out for my name’s sake, have said,
   ‘Let Yahweh be glorified,
   that we may see your joy;’
   but it is those who shall be disappointed.
5. 6A voice of tumult from the city,
   a voice from the temple,
   a voice of Yahweh that repays his enemies what they deserve.
