Isaiah 65:2-4
New Catholic Bible
2 Throughout each day I held out my hands
    and appealed to a rebellious people
who walk along evil paths
    in pursuit of their own desires.
3     [a]These people provoke me to anger
    continually, to my face,
offering sacrifices in gardens
    and burning incense on bricks.
4 They live in the midst of tombs
    and spend the night in secret places,
eating the flesh of pigs
    and filling their plates with unclean food,
Footnotes
- Isaiah 65:3 Allusions to idolatrous practices. The night spent in secret places refers perhaps to the rite of incubation, during which people awaited revelations through dreams.
