Isaiah 65:4

4 They sit among the tombs ^{▼▼ Perhaps the worship of underworld deities or dead spirits is in view.}
and keep watch all night long. ^{▼▼ The Hebrew text reads literally, “and in the watches they spend the night.” Some understand נְּצוּרִים (n^etsurim) as referring to “secret places” or “caves,” while others emend the text to וּבֵין צוּרִים (uven tsurim, “between the rocky cliffs”).}
They eat pork, ^{▼▼ Heb “the flesh of the pig”; KJV, NAB, NASB “swine’s flesh.”}
and broth ^{▼▼ The marginal reading (Qere), supported by the Qumran scroll 1QIsa^a, reads מְרַק (m^eraq, “broth”), while the consonantal text (Kethib) has פְרַק (feraq, “fragment”).} from unclean sacrificial meat is in their pans.
