Isaiah 66:1-6 - Proper Worship
1 This is what the Lord says:
and earth is My footstool.
What house could you possibly build for Me?
And what place could be My home?
and so they all came into being.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
I will look favorably on this kind of person:
one who is humble,
and trembles at My word.
one sacrifices a lamb, one breaks a dog’s neck;
one offers a grain offering, one offers pig’s blood;
one offers incense, one praises an idol—
all these have chosen their ways
and delight in their detestable practices.
and I will bring on them what they dread
because I called and no one answered;
I spoke and they didn’t hear;
they did what was evil in My sight
and chose what I didn’t delight in.
5
hear the word of the Lord:
“Your brothers who hate and exclude you
because of Me have said,
‘Let the Lord be glorified
so that we can see your joy!’
But they will be put to shame.”
6
A voice from the temple—
the voice of the Lord,
paying back His enemies what they deserve!
