·Right in front of me [To my face]
    they continue to do things that make me angry.
    They offer sacrifices to their gods in their gardens [1:29],
    and they burn incense on altars of brick.
They sit among the graves
    and spend their nights ·waiting to get messages from the dead [or keeping vigil; or in secret places].
They eat the ·meat [flesh] of pigs [C unclean animal; Lev. 11:7; Deut. 14:8],
    and their pots are full of soup made from ·meat that is wrong to eat [defiled/polluted things].
But they tell others, ‘Stay away, and don’t come near me.
    I am too holy for you.’
These ·people [or practices] are like smoke in my ·nose [nostrils].
    Like a fire that burns all ·the time [day long; C their sin never ceases and God’s anger grows].
