Isaiah 65:5-7

New Living Translation

⁵ Yet they say to each other,
    ‘Don’t come too close or you will defile me!
    I am holier than you!’
These people are a stench in my nostrils,
    an acrid smell that never goes away.

⁶ “Look, my decree is written out^[a] in front of me:
    I will not stand silent;
I will repay them in full!
    Yes, I will repay them—
⁷ both for their own sins
    and for those of their ancestors,”
    says the Lord.
“For they also burned incense on the mountains
    and insulted me on the hills.
    I will pay them back in full!
