Isaiah 65:3-5
Amplified Bible
3
The people who continually provoke Me to My face,
Sacrificing [to idols] in gardens and making offerings with incense on bricks [instead of at the designated altar];
4
Who sit among the graves [trying to conjure up evil spirits] and spend the night in the secret places [where spirits are thought to dwell];
Who eat swine’s flesh,
And their pots hold the broth of [a]unclean meat;
5
Who say, ‘Keep to yourself, do not come near me,
For I [b]am too holy for you [and you might defile me]!’
These [people] are smoke in My nostrils,
A fire that burns all the day.

New International Version
3 a people who continually provoke me
to my very face,(A)
offering sacrifices in gardens(B)
and burning incense(C) on altars of brick;
4 who sit among the graves(D)
and spend their nights keeping secret vigil;
who eat the flesh of pigs,(E)
and whose pots hold broth of impure meat;
5 who say, ‘Keep away; don’t come near me,
for I am too sacred(F) for you!’
Such people are smoke(G) in my nostrils,
a fire that keeps burning all day.
