1 “I was sought by those who did not ask; I was found by those who did not seek Me.I said: Here I am, here I am,to a nation that was not called by My name.
2 I spread out My hands all day longto a rebellious people who walk in the wrong path,following their own thoughts.
3 These people continually provoke Meto My face,sacrificing in gardens, burning incense on bricks,
4 sitting among the graves,spending nights in secret places,eating the meat of pigs, and putting polluted broth in their bowls.
5 They say, ‘Keep to yourself,don’t come near me, for I am too holy for you! ’These practices are smoke in My nostrils,a fire that burns all day long.
6 It is written before Me:I will not keep silent, but I will repay; I will repay them fully
7 for your iniquities and the iniquities of your fathers together,”says the Lord.“Because they burned incense on the mountainsand reproached Me on the hills, I will reward them fully for their former deeds.”
