who walk in ways not good,
pursuing their own imaginations —

to my very face,
offering sacrifices in gardens
and burning incense on altars of brick;

and spend their nights keeping secret vigil;
who eat the flesh of pigs,
and whose pots hold broth of impure meat;
and spend their nights keeping secret vigil;
who eat the flesh of pigs,
and whose pots hold broth of impure meat;
Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;

for I am too sacred for you!’
Such people are smoke in my nostrils,
a fire that keeps burning all day.
for I am too sacred for you!’
Such people are smoke in my nostrils,
a fire that keeps burning all day.
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.

both your sins and the sins of your ancestors,”
says the Lord.

and defied me on the hills,
I will measure into their laps
the full payment for their former deeds.”

the full payment for their former deeds.”
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.

and people say, ‘Don’t destroy it,
there is still a blessing in it,’

and chose what displeases me.”
