Context
The Lord Will Distinguish Between Sinners and the Godly
65:1 “I made myself available to those who did not ask for me; I appeared to those who did not look for me. I said , ‘Here I am! Here I am!’ to a nation that did not invoke my name .
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 .
65:3 These people continually and blatantly offend me as they sacrifice in their sacred orchards and burn incense on brick altars.
65:4 They sit among the tombs and keep watch all night long . They eat pork , and broth from unclean sacrificial meat is in their pans .
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.
65:6 Look , I have decreed : I will not keep silent , but will pay them back ; I will pay them back exactly what they deserve ,
65:7 for your sins and your ancestors ’ sins ,” says the Lord . “Because they burned incense on the mountains and offended me on the hills , I will punish them in full measure .”
