A people who continually (A)provoke Me to My face,
Offering sacrifices in (B)gardens and (C)burning incense on bricks,
Who sit among graves and spend the night in secret places,
Who (D)eat swine’s flesh,
And the broth of offensive meat is in their pots,
Who say, ‘(E)Keep to yourself, do not come near me,
For I am holier than you!’
These are smoke in My [a]nostrils,
A fire that burns all the day.

  1. Isaiah 65:5 Lit nose

a people who continually provoke me
    to my very face,(A)
offering sacrifices in gardens(B)
    and burning incense(C) on altars of brick;
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;
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.
