Isaiah 66
Chapter 4
Whose Their Own Ways
Isaiah 66:3
"He who kills a bull is as if he slays a man;
He who sacrifices a lamb, as if he breaks a dog's neck;

They say that they love me yet they play with sin in their imaginations and in secret. Did you know they send naked photos of themselves to others through the internet? They say they want more of me yet they hold onto their bitterness, unforgivenenss, and resentment. Woe to them who continue lying, cheating, and being a false witness. I never asked for such abominati ...
