They spend their nights
    hiding in burial caves;
they eat the meat of pigs,[a]
cooked in sauces
    made of stuff unfit to eat.
And then they say to others,
“Don't come near us!
    We're dedicated to God.”
Such people are like smoke,
    irritating my nose all day.
I have written this down;
    I won't keep silent.
I'll pay them back
    just as their sins deserve.
