Final Judgement and Joyous Restoration

66 This is what the Lord says:

one person sacrifices a lamb, another breaks a dog’s neck;
one person offers a grain offering, another offers pig’s blood;
one person offers incense, another praises an idol –
all these have chosen their ways
and delight in their abhorrent practices.(G)
