Isaiah 65:2-4
Expanded Bible
2 All day long I ·stood ready to accept [L stretched out my hands to a]
people who ·turned [rebelled] against me,
but the way they continue to ·live [walk] is not good;
·they do anything they want to do [following their own thoughts/schemes].
3 ·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.
4 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].

2 All day long I have held out my hands
to an obstinate people,(A)

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;
