3ὁ δὲ ἄνομος ὁ θύων μοι μόσχον ὡς ὁ ἀποκτένων κύνα, ὁ δὲ ἀναφέρων σεμίδαλιν ὡς αἷμα ὕειον, ὁ διδοὺς λίβανον εἰς μνημόσυνον ὡς βλάσφημος· καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐξελέξαντο τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ βδελύγματα αὐτῶν, ἃ ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτῶν ἠθέλησε,
Isaiah 66 closes the book with a stunning courtroom scene. Heaven is God's throne, earth his footstool — no temple can contain him. Yet he looks with favor on the humble and contrite. The chapter pivots sharply: God rejects empty worship while promising restoration for Jerusalem.
