Verse 3

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}.
