Isaiah 65:6

Compare all

4 ^aWho sit among the graves,
And spend the night in the tombs;
^bWho eat swine’s flesh,
And the broth of¹ abominable things is in their vessels;

5 ^aWho say, ‘Keep to yourself,
Do not come near me,
For I am holier than you!’
These¹ are smoke in My nostrils,
A fire that burns all the day.

6 “Behold, ^ait is written before Me:
^bI will not keep silence, ^cbut will repay—
Even repay into their bosom—

7 Your iniquities and ^athe iniquities of your fathers together,”
Says the Lord,
^b“Who have burned incense on the mountains
^cAnd blasphemed Me on the hills;
Therefore I will measure their former work into their bosom.”

8 Thus says the Lord:
“As the new wine is found in the cluster,
And one says, ‘Do not destroy it,
For ^aa blessing is in it,’
So will I do for My servants’ sake,
That I may not destroy them ^ball.

9 I will bring forth descendants from Jacob,
And from Judah an heir of My mountains;
My ^aelect shall inherit it,
And My servants shall dwell there.
