4. Sitting in tombsand spending the night in caves,Eating the flesh of pigs,with broth of unclean meat in their dishes;
5. Crying out, “Hold back,do not come near me, lest I render you holy!”These things are smoke in my nostrils,a fire that burns all the day.
6. See, it stands written before me;I will not remain quiet until I have repaid in full
7. Your crimes and the crimes of your ancestors as well,says the Lord.Since they burned incense on the mountains,and insulted me on the hills,I will at once pour out in full measuretheir recompense into their laps.
8. Thus says the Lord:As when the juice is pressed from a cluster,and someone says, “Do not destroy it,for there is still good in it,”So will I do for the sake of my servants:I will not destroy them all.
9. From Jacob I will bring forth offspring,from Judah, those who are to possess my mountains;My chosen ones shall possess the land,my servants shall dwell there.
