Isaiah 65:2 In-Context

1 I am sought out of them that inquired not [for me], I am found of them that sought me not; I have said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name.

2 I have stretched out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, who walk in a way not good, after their own thoughts;

3 the people that provoke me to anger continually to my face, sacrificing in gardens and burning incense upon the bricks;

4 who sit down among the graves, and lodge in the secret places; who eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things [is in] their vessels;

5 who 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.
