Isaiah 65:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 Which say, [a]Stand apart, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou; these are a smoke in my wrath, and a fire that [b]burneth all the day.
6 Behold, it is [c]written before me; I will not keep silence, but will render it and recompense it into their bosom.
7 Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers, shall be [d]together (saith the Lord) which have burnt incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills; therefore will I measure their old work into their bosom.
