Isaiah 65:3-7
New International Version
3 a people who continually provoke me
to my very face,(A)
offering sacrifices in gardens(B)
and burning incense(C) on altars of brick;
4 who sit among the graves(D)
and spend their nights keeping secret vigil;
who eat the flesh of pigs,(E)
and whose pots hold broth of impure meat;
5 who say, ‘Keep away; don’t come near me,
for I am too sacred(F) for you!’
Such people are smoke(G) in my nostrils,
a fire that keeps burning all day.
6 “See, it stands written before me:
I will not keep silent(H) but will pay back(I) in full;
I will pay it back into their laps(J)—
7 both your sins(K) and the sins of your ancestors,”(L)
says the Lord.
“Because they burned sacrifices on the mountains
and defied me on the hills,(M)
I will measure into their laps
the full payment(N) for their former deeds.”
Isaiah 65:3-7
King James Version
3 A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick;
4 Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
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.
