Isaiah 65:5-7
American Standard Version
5 that say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me, for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day. 6 Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, yea, I will recompense into their bosom, 7 your own iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith Jehovah, that have burned incense upon the mountains, and [a]blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I [b]first measure their work into their bosom.

Isaiah 65:5-7
New International Version
5 who say, ‘Keep away; don’t come near me,
for I am too sacred(A) for you!’
Such people are smoke(B) in my nostrils,
a fire that keeps burning all day.
6 “See, it stands written before me:
I will not keep silent(C) but will pay back(D) in full;
I will pay it back into their laps(E)—
7 both your sins(F) and the sins of your ancestors,”(G)
says the Lord.
“Because they burned sacrifices on the mountains
and defied me on the hills,(H)
I will measure into their laps
the full payment(I) for their former deeds.”
