Isaiah 65:5-8
King James Version
5 Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.
6 Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom,
7 Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the Lord, which have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their former work into their bosom.
8 Thus saith the Lord, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants' sakes, that I may not destroy them all.

I will pay it back into their laps(E)—
7 both your sins(F) and the sins of your ancestors,”(G)
says the Lord.
“Because they burned sacrifices on the mountains
and defied me on the hills,(H)
I will measure into their laps
the full payment(I) for their former deeds.”
8 This is what the Lord says:
