3Whoever slaughters an ox is like one who slays a man; whoever sacrifices a lamb is like one who breaks a dog's neck; whoever presents a grain offering is like one who offers pig's blood; whoever offers frankincense is like one who blesses an idol. Indeed, they have chosen their own ways and delighted in their abominations.
“He that kills an ox is as if he slew a man. He that sacrifices a lamb is as if he cut off a dog's neck. He that offered an oblation is as if he offered swine's blood. He that burns incense is as if he blessed an idol. Why? It…”
4So I will choose their punishment and I will bring terror upon them, because I called and no one answered, I spoke and no one listened. But they did evil in My sight and chose that in which I did not delight."
