Context of Isaiah 65:7
5who say, ‘Keep to yourself, don’t come to me, for I am holier than you!’ These are smoke in My nostrils, a fire that burns all day. 6Behold, it is written before Me; I will not keep silence, but will repay, even repay into their laps, your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together,” says Adonai, “because they burned incense on the mountains, and scorned Me on the hills. So I will measure into their laps full wages for their former deeds.” 8Thus says Adonai: “As new wine is found in a cluster, and one says, ‘Do not destroy it, for a blessing is in it,’ so I will do for My servants’ sakes, that I may not destroy them all. 9I will bring forth offspring from Jacob, an heir of My mountains from Judah. My chosen ones will inherit it, and My servants will dwell there.
