Isaiah 65:3 meaning and explanation
to a people who continually provoke Me to My face, sacrificing in the gardens and burning incense on altars of brick,
Isaiah 65:3, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
In context, the LORD is answering Israel through Isaiah, contrasting His open invitation with the stubbornness of a people who keep provoking Him openly, "to My face." The gardens and brick altars point to unauthorized worship, rites God had not commanded, likely blending Canaanite practice with Israel's own religion. Incense burned on rooftops or brick platforms was part of this self-made devotion.
