Isaiah 65:2-5

2All day long I have held out my hands to an obstinate people, who walk in ways not good, pursuing their own imaginations—

3a people who continually provoke me to my very face, offering sacrifices in gardens and burning incense on altars of brick;

4who sit among the graves and spend their nights keeping secret vigil; who eat the flesh of pigs, and whose pots hold broth of impure meat;

5who say, ‘Keep away; don’t come near me, for I am too sacred for you!’ Such people are smoke in my nostrils, a fire that keeps burning all day.
