Isaiah 65:1-7

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

65 I was ready to be sought out by those who did not ask,
    to be found by 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 held out my hands all day long
    to a rebellious people,
who walk in a way that is not good,
    following their own devices;
³ a people who provoke me
    to my face continually,
sacrificing in gardens
    and offering incense on bricks;
⁴ who sit inside tombs,
    and spend the night in secret places;
who eat swine’s flesh,
    with broth of abominable things in their vessels;
⁵ who say, ‘Keep to yourself,
    do not come near me, for I am too holy for you.’
These are a smoke in my nostrils,
    a fire that burns all day long.
⁶ See, it is written before me:
    I will not keep silent, but I will repay;
I will indeed repay into their laps
⁷     their^[a] iniquities and their^[b] ancestors’ iniquities together,
says the Lord;
because they offered incense on the mountains
    and reviled me on the hills,
I will measure into their laps
    full payment for their actions.
