2 I extended my hands all dayto a rebellious peoplewalking in a way that isn’t good,following their own plans;
3 people who provoke me to my face continually,sacrificing in gardens and burning incense on bricks,
4 who sit in tombsand spend the night among rocks;who eat swine’s fleshwith broth of unclean meat in their bowls;
5 who say, "Keep to yourself!Keep away from me! I’m too holy for you."These people ignite my angerlike 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
