Isaiah 65:2-4
Good News Translation
2 (A)I have always been ready to welcome my people, who stubbornly do what is wrong and go their own way. 3 They shamelessly keep on making me angry. They offer pagan sacrifices at sacred gardens[a] and burn incense on pagan altars. 4 At night they go to caves and tombs to consult the spirits of the dead. They eat pork and drink broth made from meat offered in pagan sacrifices.

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;
