1 I was sought of those that did not ask for me; I was found of those that did not seek me; I said, Here I am, Here I am, unto a people that did not invoke my name.
2 I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, who walk in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts;
3 a people that provokes me to anger continually to my face; that sacrifices in gardens, and burns incense upon altars of brick;
4 who remain asleep among the graves, and lodge in the deserts, who eat swine’s flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
5 who say, Stand by thyself, do not come near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burns all the day.
