Isaiah 65:3-8 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

3. These people continually provoke Meto My face,sacrificing in gardens, burning incense on bricks,

4. sitting among the graves,spending nights in secret places,eating the meat of pigs, and putting polluted broth in their bowls.

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. It is written before Me:I will not keep silent, but I will repay; I will repay them fully

7. for your iniquities and the iniquities of your fathers together,”says the Lord.“Because they burned incense on the mountainsand reproached Me on the hills, I will reward them fully for their former deeds.”

8. The Lord says this:As the new wine is found in a bunch of grapes,and one says, ‘Don’t destroy it,for there’s some good in it,’so I will act because of My servantsand not destroy them all.
