Isaiah 65:5 in context
- 3a people that provoke me to my face continually, sacrificing in gardens, and burning incense upon bricks;
- 4that sit among the graves, and lodge in the secret places; that eat swine’s flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
- 5that say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me, for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.
- 6Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, yea, I will recompense into their bosom,
- 7your own iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith Jehovah, that have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I first measure their work into their bosom.
