Isaiah 65:3-5
Christian Standard Bible
3 These people continually anger me
to my face,
sacrificing in gardens,(A)
burning incense on bricks,
4 sitting among the graves,
spending nights in secret places,
eating the meat of pigs,(B)
and putting polluted broth in their bowls.[a]
5 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.

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.
Isaiah 65:3-5
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.
