Thus said Jehovah: The heavens `are' My throne, And the earth My footstool , Where ` is ' this -- the house that ye build for Me? And where ` is ' this -- the place -- My rest?
Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool : where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?
And all these My hand hath made, And all these things are , An affirmation of Jehovah! And unto this one I look attentively , Unto the humble and bruised in spirit, And who is trembling at My word.

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.
