Isaiah 65:7

7 your sins and the sins of your ancestors as well, says the LORD. Since they burned incense on the mountains, and mocked me in the hills, I will count out to them full payment for their actions.

Isaiah 65:7 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 65:7

Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together
(saith the Lord)
That is, the punishment both of the one and of the other; these being alike, and continued from father to son, and approved of, and committed by one generation after another, till the measure was filled up; and then the recompence of reward is given for all of them together at once: which have burnt incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills; where they offered incense and other sacrifices to idols, which was interpreted by the Lord as a blaspheming and reproaching of him; see ( Isaiah 57:7 ) ( Jeremiah 2:20 ) ( 3:6 ) : therefore will I measure their former work into their bosom;
punish them for their former sins as well as their latter ones, and both together.

Isaiah 65:7 In-Context

5 who say, "Keep to yourself! Keep away from me! I'm too holy for you." These people ignite my anger like a fire that burns all day.

6 Look, this stands written before me. I won't be silent, but I will repay; I will repay in full measure

7 your sins and the sins of your ancestors as well, says the LORD. Since they burned incense on the mountains, and mocked me in the hills, I will count out to them full payment for their actions.

8 The LORD proclaims: As new wine is found in the grape cluster, and someone says, "Don't destroy it, for there is a blessing in it," so I will do for the sake of my servants and not destroy everything:

9 I will bring out offspring from Jacob, and from Judah, heirs to my mountains. My chosen ones will take possession; my servants will dwell there.
