They keep making me angry
    by sneering at me,
while offering sacrifices
    to idols in gardens
and burning incense
    to them on bricks.
They spend their nights
    hiding in burial caves;
they eat the meat of pigs,[a]
cooked in sauces
    made of stuff unfit to eat.

“Don't come near us!
    We're dedicated to God.”
Such people are like smoke,
    irritating my nose all day.
