Isaiah 65:1-7

Modern English Version

65 I was sought by those who did not ask for Me;
    I was found of those who did not seek Me.
I said, “Here I am, here I am,”
    to a nation that did not call on My name.
² I have spread out My hands all day
    to a rebellious people
who walk in a way that was not good,
    after their own thoughts;
³ a people who provoke Me continually
    to My face,
presenting sacrifices in gardens
    and burning incense on altars of brick;
⁴ who sit among the graves
    and lodge in the monuments;
who eat swine’s flesh,
    and the broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
⁵ who say, “Stand by yourself; do not come near to me,
    for I am holier than you!”
These are smoke in My nose,
    a fire that burns all day.
