65:2 I spread out my hands all day long
to my rebellious people,
who lived in a way that is morally unacceptable,
and who did what they desired. 1
65:3 These people continually and blatantly offend me 2
as they sacrifice in their sacred orchards 3
and burn incense on brick altars. 4
65:5 They say, ‘Keep to yourself!
Don’t get near me, for I am holier than you!’
These people are like smoke in my nostrils,
like a fire that keeps burning all day long.
