King James Version (KJV)
Isaiah 66:1 Context
1Thus 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? 2For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word. 3He 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. 4I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.

Bible commentary
Wesley's Notes for Isaiah 66:1
66:1 The heaven - The highest heaven, is the place where I shew myself in my majesty. So #Psal 11:4 Psal 103:19 Matt 5:34|. Hence we are taught to pray; our father which art in heaven. And the earth is my footstool - Or a place wherein I set my feet, #Matt 5:35|. The house - Can there be an house built, that will contain me? My rest - Or where is the place wherein I can be said to rest in a proper sense?
