Isaiah 65:6 in context

Isaiah 65:3–9

3

a people who provoke me to my face continually,

sacrificing in gardens,

and burning incense on bricks;

4

who sit among the graves,

and spend nights in secret places;

who eat pig’s meat,

and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;

5

who say, ‘Stay by yourself,

don’t come near to me,

for I am holier than you.’

These are smoke in my nose,

a fire that burns all day.

6
Selected verse

“Behold, it is written before me:

I will not keep silence,

but will repay,

yes, I will repay into their bosom

7

your own iniquities and the iniquities of your fathers together”, says the LORD,

“who have burned incense on the mountains,

and blasphemed me on the hills.

Therefore I will first measure their work into their bosom.”

8

The LORD says,

“As the new wine is found in the cluster,

and one says, ‘Don’t destroy it, for a blessing is in it:’

so I will do for my servants’ sake,

that I may not destroy them all.

9

I will bring offspring out of Jacob,

and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains.

My chosen will inherit it,

and my servants will dwell there.
