Isaiah 65:5
Berean Standard Bible
They say, ‘Keep to yourself; do not come near me, for I am holier than you!’ Such people are smoke in My nostrils, a fire that burns all day long.
Context
3to a people who continually provoke Me to My face,
sacrificing in the gardens
and burning incense on altars of brick, 4sitting among the graves,
spending nights in secret places,
eating the meat of pigs
and polluted broth from their bowls. 5They say, ‘Keep to yourself;
do not come near me, for I am holier than you!’
Such people are smoke in My nostrils,
a fire that burns all day long. 6Behold, it is written before Me:
I will not keep silent, but I will repay;
I will pay it back into their laps, 7both for your iniquities
and for those of your fathers,”
says the LORD.
“Because they burned incense on the mountains
and scorned Me on the hills,
I will measure into their laps
full payment for their former deeds.”
