They say, ‘Keep to yourself,
don’t come near me, for I am too holy for you!’
These practices are smoke in My nostrils,
a fire that burns all day long.
It is written before Me:
I will not keep silent,(A) but I will repay;(B)
I will repay them fully[a]
for your iniquities and the iniquities(C)
of your[b] fathers together,”
says the Lord.
“Because they burned incense on the mountains
and reproached Me on the hills,(D)
I will reward them fully[c]
for their former deeds.”
