Isaiah 65:1-5
1
I was ready to be sought out by those who did not ask, to be found by those who did not seek me. I said, "Here I am, here I am," to a nation that did not call on my name.
2
I held out my hands all day long to a rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good, following their own devices;
3
a people who provoke me to my face continually, sacrificing in gardens and offering incense on bricks;
4
who sit inside tombs, and spend the night in secret places; who eat swine's flesh, with broth of abominable things in their vessels;
5
who say, "Keep to yourself, do not come near me, for I am too holy for you." These are a smoke in my nostrils, a fire that burns all day long.
