Isaiah 65:2-4
Easy-to-Read Version
2 “All day long I stood ready to accept those who turned against me. But they kept doing whatever they wanted to do, and all they did was wrong. 3 They keep doing things, right in front of me, that make me angry. They offer sacrifices and burn incense in their special gardens.[a] 4 They sit among the graves, waiting to get messages from the dead. They eat the meat of pigs, and their pots are full of soup made from unclean meat.

Isaiah 65:2-4
New International Version
2 All day long I have held out my hands
to an obstinate people,(A)
who walk in ways not good,
pursuing their own imaginations(B)—
3 a people who continually provoke me
to my very face,(C)
offering sacrifices in gardens(D)
and burning incense(E) on altars of brick;
4 who sit among the graves(F)
and spend their nights keeping secret vigil;
who eat the flesh of pigs,(G)
and whose pots hold broth of impure meat;
