3a people who provoke me to my face continually, sacrificing in gardens, and burning incense on bricks;
4who sit among the graves, and lodge in the secret places; who eat pig`s flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
5who say, Stand by yourself, don`t come near to me, for I am holier than you. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burns all the day.
6Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, yes, I will recompense into their bosom,
7your own iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, says Yahweh, who have burned incense on the mountains, and blasphemed me on the hills; therefore will I first measure their work into their bosom.
8Thus says Yahweh, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one says, Don`t destroy it, for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants` sake, that I may not destroy them all.
9I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains; and my chosen shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.
