Isaiah 65:2

Verse 2 of 25. The 65th of 66 chapters in Isaiah, in The Major Prophets.

1“I am inquired of by those who didn’t ask. I am found by those who didn’t seek me. I said, ‘See me, see me,’ to a nation that was not called by my name.

2I have spread out my hands all day to a rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts;

3a people who provoke me to my face continually, sacrificing in gardens, and burning incense on bricks;

4who sit among the graves, and spend nights in secret places; who eat pig’s meat, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;

5who say, ‘Stay by yourself, don’t come near to me, for I am holier than you.’ These are smoke in my nose, a fire that burns all day.

6“Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will repay, yes, I will repay into their bosom
