Isaiah 65:5-7

Contemporary English Version

⁵ 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.
⁶ I have written this down;
    I won't keep silent.
I'll pay them back
    just as their sins deserve.
⁷ I, the Lord, will make them pay
for their sins and for those
    of their ancestors—
they have disgraced me
by burning incense
    on mountains.
