Isaiah 65:1-5

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

65 ‘I was sought by those who did not ask;
I was found by those who did not seek me.
I said, “Here I am, here I am,”
to a nation that did not call on^[a] my name.^(A)
2 I spread out my hands all day long
to a rebellious people^(B)
who walk in the path that is not good,
following their own thoughts.
³ These people continually anger me
to my face,
sacrificing in gardens,^(C)
burning incense on bricks,
⁴ sitting among the graves,
spending nights in secret places,
eating the meat of pigs,^(D)
and putting polluted broth in their bowls.^[b]
5 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.
