Isaiah 65:1-5 ▼

1 I gave access to them that asked not for Me, I was at hand to them that sought Me not; I said: 'Behold Me, behold Me', Unto a nation that was not called by My name.

2 I have spread out My hands all the day Unto a rebellious people, That walk in a way that is not good, After their own thoughts;

3 A people that provoke Me To My face continually, That sacrifice in gardens, And burn incense upon bricks;

4 That sit among the graves, And lodge in the vaults; That eat swine's flesh, And broth of abominable things is in their vessels;

5 That say: 'Stand by thyself, Come not near to me, for I am holier than thou'; These are a smoke in My nose, A fire that burneth all the day.
