Isaiah 65:3
_ _ continually — answering to “all the day” (Isaiah 65:2). God was continually inviting them, and they continually offending Him (Deuteronomy 32:21).
_ _ to my face — They made no attempt to hide their sin (Isaiah 3:9). Compare “before Me” (Exodus 20:3).
_ _ in gardens — (See on Isaiah 1:29; Isaiah 66:17; Leviticus 17:5).
_ _ altars of brick — Hebrew, “bricks.” God had commanded His altars to be of unhewn stone (Exodus 20:25). This was in order to separate them, even in external respects, from idolaters; also, as all chiseling was forbidden, they could not inscribe superstitious symbols on them as the heathen did. Bricks were more easily so inscribed than stone; hence their use for the cuneiform inscriptions at Babylon, and also for idolatrous altars. Some, not so well, have supposed that the “bricks” here mean the flat brick-paved roofs of houses on which they sacrificed to the sun, etc. (2 Kings 23:12; Jeremiah 19:13). |
Isaiah 65:3
To my face — With the utmost impudence, not taking notice of God's omnipresence, and omniscience. In gardens, &c. — Directly contrary to the divine rule. |

A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in (d) gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of (e) brick;
