An ej original recipe!



Isaiah 65:1-7


Judgment and Salvation


    [1] I was ready to be sought by those who did not ask for me;

        I was ready to be found by those who did not seek me.

    I said, “Here I am, here I am,”

        to a nation that was not called by my name. 

    [2] I spread out my hands all the day

        to a rebellious people,

    who walk in a way that is not good,

        following their own devices; 

    [3] a people who provoke me

        to my face continually,

    sacrificing in gardens

        and making offerings on bricks; 

    [4] who sit in tombs,

        and spend the night in secret places;

    who eat pig’s flesh,

        and broth of tainted meat is in their vessels; 

    [5] who say, “Keep to yourself,

        do not come near me, for I am too holy for you.”

    These are a smoke in my nostrils,

        a fire that burns all the day. 

    [6] Behold, it is written before me:

        “I will not keep silent, but I will repay;

    I will indeed repay into their lap 

    [7]     both your iniquities and your fathers’ iniquities together,

    says the LORD;

    because they made offerings on the mountains

        and insulted me on the hills,

    I will measure into their lap

        payment for their former deeds.”
