When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?

The verse 12 is found in chapter 1 of Isaiah. Isaiah opens by presenting a vision against Judah and Jerusalem using the language of a legal proceeding. God raised his people as children, but they rebelled; the comparison with the ox and donkey emphasizes the seriousness of an ingratitude that even domestic animals would not display. The criticism reaches both the moral condition of the people and their worship.

Wenn ihr hereinkommt, zu erscheinen vor mir, wer fordert solches von euren Händen, daß ihr auf meinen Vorhof tretet?
¿Quién demandó esto de vuestras manos, cuando vinieseis a presentaros delante de mí, para hollar mis atrios?
Cuando vienen a presentarse ante mí, ¿quién les ha pedido que pisoteen mis atrios?
Quand vous venez vous présenter devant moi, Qui vous demande de souiller mes parvis?
Quando voi venite per comparir nel mio cospetto, chi ha richiesto questo di man vostra, che voi calchiate i miei cortili?
Quando vindes para comparecer perante mim, quem requereu isto de vossas mãos, que viésseis a pisar os meus átrios?
「你們來朝見我, 誰向你們的手要求這些, 使你們踐踏我的院宇呢?
