Isaiah 65:5-7
King James Version
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.
6 Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom,
7 Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the Lord, which have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their former work into their bosom.

Isaiah 65:5-7
English Standard Version
5 who say, “Keep to yourself,
do not come near me, for I am too holy for you.”
(A)These are a smoke in my nostrils,
a fire that burns all the day.
6 Behold, (B)it is written before me:
(C)“I will not keep silent, but I will repay;
(D)I will indeed repay into their lap
7 both your iniquities (E)and your fathers' iniquities together,
says the Lord;
(F)because they made offerings on the mountains
(G)and insulted me on the hills,
I will measure into their lap
payment for their former deeds.”[a]
