Isaiah 65:2-5

2All day long I opened my arms to a rebellious people. But they follow their own evil paths and their own crooked schemes.

3All day long they insult me to my face by worshiping idols in their sacred gardens. They burn incense on pagan altars.

4At night they go out among the graves, worshiping the dead. They eat the flesh of pigs and make stews with other forbidden foods.

5Yet 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.
