Isaiah 65:5-7

Living Bible

⁵ Yet they say to one another, “Don’t come too close, you’ll defile me! For I am holier than you!” They stifle me. Day in and day out they infuriate me.

⁶ See, here is my decree all written out before me: I will not stand silent; I will repay. Yes, I will repay them— ⁷ not only for their own sins but for those of their fathers too, says the Lord, for they also burned incense on the mountains and insulted me upon the hills. I will pay them back in full.
