Isaiah 65:1-7
American Standard Version
65 I [a]am inquired of by them that asked not for me; I [b]am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation [c]that was not called by my name. 2 I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, that walk in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts; 3 a people that provoke me to my face continually, sacrificing in gardens, and burning incense upon bricks; 4 that [d]sit among the graves, and lodge in the [e]secret places; that eat swine’s flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels; 5 that 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, yea, I will recompense into their bosom, 7 your own iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith Jehovah, that have burned incense upon the mountains, and [f]blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I [g]first measure their work into their bosom.
