Context Readings

Judgment And Salvation

3 To a people that is ever defying me to my face. They make their oblations in gardens, and their smoke upon altars of brick; 4 they lurk among the graves, and lie in the dens all night. They eat swine flesh, and unclean broth is in their vessels. 5 If thou comest nigh them, they say, "Touch me not, for I am holier than thou." All these men when I am angry, shall be turned to smoke and fire, that shall burn forever.
