1 I was ready to respond to those who didn’t ask.I was ready to be found by those who didn’t look for me.I said, "I’m here! I’m here!" to a nationthat didn’t call on my name.
2 I extended my hands all dayto a rebellious peoplewalking in a way that isn’t good,following their own plans;
3 people who provoke me to my face continually,sacrificing in gardens and burning incense on bricks,
4 who sit in tombsand spend the night among rocks;who eat swine’s fleshwith broth of unclean meat in their bowls;
