Isaiah 65:4-8 Modern English Version (MEV)

4. who sit among the gravesand lodge in the monuments;who eat swine’s flesh,and the broth of abominable things is in their vessels;

5. who say, “Stand by yourself; do not come near to me,for I am holier than you!”These are smoke in My nose,a fire that burns all day.

6. See, it is written before Me:I will not keep silent, but I will recompense,even recompense into their bosom,

7. your iniquities and the iniquities of your fathers together,says the Lord;because they have burned incense on the mountainsand blasphemed Me on the hills,therefore, I will measure their former workinto their bosom.

8. Thus says the Lord: As the new wine is found in the cluster,and one says, “Do not destroy itfor a blessing is in it,”so I will do for the sake of My servantsthat I may not destroy them all.
