sitting among the graves,
spending nights in secret places,
eating the meat of pigs,(A)
and putting polluted broth in their bowls.[a]
They say, ‘Keep to yourself,
don’t come near me, for I am too holy for you!’
These practices are smoke in my nostrils,
a fire that burns all day long.
Look, it is written in front of me:
I will not keep silent,(B) but I will repay;(C)
I will repay them fully[b]
