2I stretched out my hands all day long to stubborn people. 

They chose to go the wrong direction. 

They followed their own plans. 

3These people constantly and openly provoked me. 

They offered sacrifices in gardens 

and burnt incense on brick altars. 

4They sat among the graves and spent their nights in caves. 

They ate pork and in their pots made broth from unclean foods.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

I spread out my hands all the day

to a rebellious people,

who walk in a way that is not good,

following their own devices;

a people who provoke me

to my face continually,

sacrificing in gardens

and making offerings on bricks;

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;

NIVNew International Version (2011)

All day long I have held out my hands

to an obstinate people,

who walk in ways not good,

pursuing their own imaginations—

a people who continually provoke me

to my very face,

offering sacrifices in gardens

and burning incense on altars of brick;

who sit among the graves

and spend their nights keeping secret vigil;

who eat the flesh of pigs,

and whose pots hold broth of impure meat;

CSBChristian Standard Bible

I spread out my hands all day long

to a rebellious people

who walk in the path that is not good,

following their own thoughts.

These people continually anger me

to my face,

sacrificing in gardens,

burning incense on bricks,

sitting among the graves,

spending nights in secret places,

eating the meat of pigs,

and putting polluted broth in their bowls.

NLTNew Living Translation

All day long I opened my arms to a rebellious people.

But they follow their own evil paths

and their own crooked schemes.

All day long they insult me to my face

by worshiping idols in their sacred gardens.

They burn incense on pagan altars.

At night they go out among the graves,

worshiping the dead.

They eat the flesh of pigs

and make stews with other forbidden foods.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

I spread out my hands all day to a stubborn people,

those who walk after their thoughts in the way that is not good,

the people who provoke me to anger continually to my face,

slaughtering for sacrifices in the garden,

and making smoke offerings on bricks,

who sit in graves

and spend the night in secret places,

who eat the flesh of swine

with a fragment of impurity in their vessels,

KJV 1900King James Version

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;

A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face;

That sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick;

Which remain among the graves,

And lodge in the monuments,

Which eat swine’s flesh,

And broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
