Isaiah 65:3-5
Lexham English Bible
3 the people who provoke[a] me to anger continually to my face,
slaughtering for sacrifices in the garden,
and making smoke offerings on bricks,
4 who sit[b] in graves
and spend the night in secret places,[c]
who eat[d] the flesh of swine
with[e] a fragment[f] of impurity in their vessels,
5 who say,[g] “Keep to yourself![h]
You must not come near me, for I am too holy for you!”
These are a smoke in my nostrils,[i]
a fire burning all day.
