Isaiah 65:5-7
Contemporary English Version
Isaiah 65:5-7
Contemporary English Version
5 And then they say to others,
“Don't come near us!
We're dedicated to God.”
Such people are like smoke,
irritating my nose all day.
6 I have written this down;
I won't keep silent.
I'll pay them back
just as their sins deserve.
7 I, the Lord, will make them pay
for their sins and for those
of their ancestors—
they have disgraced me
by burning incense
on mountains.
Isaiah 65:5-7
New International Version
Isaiah 65:5-7
New International Version
5 who say, ‘Keep away; don’t come near me,
for I am too sacred(A) for you!’
Such people are smoke(B) in my nostrils,
a fire that keeps burning all day.
6 “See, it stands written before me:
I will not keep silent(C) but will pay back(D) in full;
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.”
