65 “I was sought by those who did not ask;
I was found by those who did not seek me.
I said, ‘Here I am, here I am,’
to a nation that did not call on^[a] my name.^(A)
2 I spread out my hands all day long
to a rebellious people^(B)
who walk in the path that is not good,
following their own thoughts.
³ These people continually anger me
to my face,
sacrificing in gardens,^(C)
burning incense on bricks,
⁴ sitting among the graves,
spending nights in secret places,
eating the meat of pigs,^(D)
and putting polluted broth in their bowls.^[b]
5 They say, ‘Keep to yourself,
don’t come near me, for I am too holy for you!’
These practices are smoke in my nostrils,
a fire that burns all day long.
⁶ Look, it is written in front of me:
I will not keep silent,^(E) but I will repay;^(F)
I will repay them fully^[c]
7 for your iniquities and the iniquities^(G)
of your^[d] ancestors together,”
says the Lord.
“Because they burned incense on the mountains
and reproached me on the hills,^(H)
I will reward them fully^[e]
for their former deeds.”
