Isaiah 65:2

Read in context

Isaiah 65:1–4 · Berean Standard Bible

1 “I revealed Myself to those who did not ask for Me; I was found by those who did not seek Me. To a nation that did not call My name, I said, ‘Here I am! Here I am!’

2 All day long I have held out My hands to an obstinate people who walk in the wrong path, who follow their own imaginations,

3 to a people who continually provoke Me to My face, sacrificing in the gardens and burning incense on altars of brick,

4 sitting among the graves, spending nights in secret places, eating the meat of pigs and polluted broth from their bowls.
