2I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, that walk in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts;

3a people that provoke me to my face continually, sacrificing in gardens, and burning incense upon bricks;

4that sit among the graves, and lodge in the secret places; that eat swine`s flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;

5that say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me, for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.

6Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, yea, I will recompense into their bosom,

7your own iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith Jehovah, that have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills; therefore will I first measure their work into their bosom.

8Thus saith Jehovah, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not, for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants` sake, that I may not destroy them all.
