2 I spread out my hands all day long

to a rebellious peoplec

who walk in the path that is not good,

following their own thoughts.

3 These people continually anger me

to my face,

sacrificing in gardens,d

burning incense on bricks,

4 sitting among the graves,

spending nights in secret places,

eating the meat of pigs,e

and putting polluted broth in their bowls.B

5 They say, ‘Keep to yourself,

don’t come near me, for I am too holy for you!’

These practices are smoke in my nostrils,

a fire that burns all day long.

6 Look, it is written in front of me:

I will not keep silent,f but I will repay;g

I will repay them fullyC

7 for your iniquities and the iniquitiesh

of yourD ancestors together,”

says the Lord.

“Because they burned incense on the mountains

and reproached me on the hills,i

I will reward them fullyE

for their former deeds.”
