1 The lord says,“I was ready to respond, but no one asked for help.I was ready to be found, but no one was looking for me.I said, ‘Here I am, here I am!’to a nation that did not call on my name.
2 All day long I opened my arms to a rebellious people.But they follow their own evil pathsand their own crooked schemes.
3 All day long they insult me to my faceby worshiping idols in their sacred gardens.They burn incense on pagan altars.
4 At night they go out among the graves,worshiping the dead.They eat the flesh of pigsand make stews with other forbidden foods.
