Old Testament

New Testament

Isaiah 65:1-5 Modern English Version (MEV)

1. I was sought by those who did not ask for Me;I was found of those who did not seek Me.I said, “Here I am, here I am,”to a nation that did not call on My name.

2. I have spread out My hands all dayto a rebellious peoplewho walk in a way that was not good,after their own thoughts;

3. a people who provoke Me continuallyto My face,presenting sacrifices in gardensand burning incense on altars of brick;

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.
