Whoever 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.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
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:
World English Bible (WEB)
He that killeth{H7819}{(H8802)} an ox{H7794} is as if he slew{H5221}{(H8688)} a man{H376}; he that sacrificeth{H2076}{(H8802)} a lamb{H7716}, as if he cut off{H6202} a dog's{H3611} neck{H6202}{(H8802)}; he that offereth{H5927}{(H8688)} an oblation{H4503}, as if he offered swine's{H2386} blood{H1818}; he that burneth{H2142}{(H8688)} incense{H3828}, as if he blessed{H1288}{(H8764)} an idol{H205}. Yea, they have chosen{H977}{(H8804)} their own ways{H1870}, and their soul{H5315} delighteth{H2654}{(H8804)} in their abominations{H8251}.
Strong's King James
Whoso slaughtereth the ox smiteth a man, Whoso sacrificeth the lamb beheadeth a dog, Whoso is bringing up a present—The blood of a sow, Whoso is making mention of frankincense, Is blessing iniquity. Yea, they have fixed on their own ways, And in their abominations their soul hath delighted.
