Isaiah 65:1-7

¹ “I am inquired of by those who didn’t ask. I am found by those who didn’t seek me. I said, ‘See me, see me,’ to a nation that was not called by my name.

² I have spread out my hands all day to a rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts;

³ a people who provoke me to my face continually, sacrificing in gardens, and burning incense on bricks;

⁴ who sit among the graves, and spend nights in secret places; who eat pig’s meat, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;

⁵ who say, ‘Stay by yourself, don’t come near to me, for I am holier than you.’ These are smoke in my nose, a fire that burns all day.

⁶ “Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will repay, yes, I will repay into their bosom,

⁷ your own iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together”, says Yahweh, “who have burned incense on the mountains, and blasphemed me on the hills. Therefore I will first measure their work into their bosom.”
