Isaiah 66:3
He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog’s neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine’s blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations.

The radical critique of sacrificial religion without ethical integrity equates killing an ox with murdering a man, sacrificing a lamb with cutting off a dog's neck — making hollow ritual as abominable as the most extreme transgression. This represents one of the Hebrew Bible's sharpest formulations of the prophetic critique of external religion divorced from covenant faithfulness, a theme running from Amos 5:21-24 through Micah 6:6-8 to Jesus' 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice' (Matthew 9:13; 12:7, citing Hosea 6:6). The verse targets not sacrifice per se but sacrifice offered by those who have 'chosen their own ways' (66:3b) — the combination of chosen self-direction with cultic compliance is the specific offense. Isaiah 1:11-17 and Jeremiah 7:21-23 develop the same critique.

He that killeth an ox is as he that slayeth a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as he that breaketh a dog’s neck; he that offereth an oblation, as he that offereth swine’s blood; he that burneth frankincense, as he that blesseth an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations:
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.
He who puts an ox to death puts a man to death; he who makes an offering of a lamb puts a dog to death; he who makes a meal offering makes an offering of pig's blood; he who makes an offering of perfumes for a sign gives worship to an image: as they have gone after their desires, and their soul takes pleasure in their disgusting things;
