2 I spread out my hands all the dayto a rebellious people,who walk in a way that is not good,following their own devices;
3 a people who provoke meto my face continually, sacrificing in gardensand making offerings on bricks;
4 who sit in tombs,and spend the night in secret places; who eat pig’s flesh,and broth of tainted meat is 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 the day.
6 Behold, it is written before me: “I will not keep silent, but I will repay; I will indeed repay into their lap
7 both your iniquities and your fathers’ iniquities together,says the Lord; because they made offerings on the mountains and insulted me on the hills,I will measure into their lappayment for their former deeds.”
8 Thus says the Lord: “As the new wine is found in the cluster,and they say, ‘Do not destroy it,for there is a blessing in it,’so I will do for my servants’ sake, and not destroy them all.
