Isaiah 65:2-7
New International Version
Isaiah 65:2-7
New International Version
2 All day long I have held out my hands
to an obstinate people,(A)
who walk in ways not good,
pursuing their own imaginations(B)—
3 a people who continually provoke me
to my very face,(C)
offering sacrifices in gardens(D)
and burning incense(E) on altars of brick;
4 who sit among the graves(F)
and spend their nights keeping secret vigil;
who eat the flesh of pigs,(G)
and whose pots hold broth of impure meat;
5 who say, ‘Keep away; don’t come near me,
for I am too sacred(H) for you!’
Such people are smoke(I) in my nostrils,
a fire that keeps burning all day.
6 “See, it stands written before me:
I will not keep silent(J) but will pay back(K) in full;
I will pay it back into their laps(L)—
7 both your sins(M) and the sins of your ancestors,”(N)
says the Lord.
“Because they burned sacrifices on the mountains
and defied me on the hills,(O)
I will measure into their laps
the full payment(P) for their former deeds.”
Isaiah 65:2-7
King James Version
Isaiah 65:2-7
King James Version
2 I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts;
3 A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick;
4 Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
5 Which 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.
6 Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom,
7 Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the Lord, which have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their former work into their bosom.

Isaiah 65:11-12
New International Version
11 “But as for you who forsake(A) the Lord
and forget my holy mountain,(B)
who spread a table for Fortune
and fill bowls of mixed wine(C) for Destiny,
12 I will destine you for the sword,(D)
and all of you will fall in the slaughter;(E)
for I called but you did not answer,(F)
I spoke but you did not listen.(G)
You did evil in my sight
and chose what displeases me.”(H)
Isaiah 65:11-12
King James Version
Isaiah 65:11-12
King James Version
11 But ye are they that forsake the Lord, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop, and that furnish the drink offering unto that number.
12 Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not.
