Isaiah 65:6

Judgment And Salvation

⁵
Who say, ‘Keep to yourself, do not come near me,
For I am too holy for you [and you might defile me]!’
These [people] are smoke in My nostrils,
A fire that burns all the day.
⁶ 
“Indeed, it is written before Me,
I will not keep silent, but I will repay;
I will even repay it [directly] into their arms,
⁷
Both your own wickedness and the wickedness of your fathers,” says the Lord.
“Since they too have made offerings with incense on the mountains
And scorned and taunted Me on the hills,
I therefore will measure [punishment for] their former work [directly] into their arms.”
