Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations:

Common English Bible

³ The one who slaughters an ox kills a person; the one who sacrifices a sheep breaks a dog’s neck; the one who makes a grain offering offers swine’s blood; the one who burns incense blesses an idol. All these have chosen their own ways, and prefer their detestable things.

Catholic Public Domain Version

³ Whoever immolates an ox, it is as if he slaughters a man. Whoever sacrifices a sheep, it is as if he is smashing the head of a dog. Whoever offers an oblation, it is as if he is offering swine's blood. Whoever makes remembrance with incense, it is as if he is blessing an idol. All these things, they have chosen according to their own ways, and their soul has taken delight in their own abominations.

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

³ He that sacrificeth an ox is as if he slew a man: he that killeth a sheep in sacrifice, as if he should brain a dog: he that offereth an oblation, as if he should offer swine's blood; he that remembereth incense, as if he should bless an idol. All these things have they chosen in their ways: and their soul is delighted in their abominations.
