Isaiah 65:5 (KJV)
Commentary on Isaiah 65:5
'Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.' The supreme irony: those practicing paganism claim superior holiness! 'Stand back, I'm holier than you.' Such hypocrisy is 'smoke in my nose' (disgusting odor) and 'fire that burneth' (constant irritation). Self-righteousness amid actual sin provokes divine wrath.
