1 “I was sought by those who did not ask for Me, I was found by those who did not seek Me. I said, ‘Hineni, hineni!’ to a nation not called by My Name.
2 I have stretched out My hands all day to a rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good, following their own thoughts.
3 These people provoke Me continually to My face, sacrificing in gardens, burning incense on bricks,
4 sitting among graves, spending the night in cave-tombs; eating swine’s flesh, and the broth of detestable things is in their pots,
5 who say, ‘Keep to yourself, don’t come to me, for I am holier than you!’ These are smoke in My nostrils, a fire that burns all day.
6 Behold, it is written before Me; I will not keep silence, but will repay, even repay into their laps,
7 your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together,” says Adonai, “because they burned incense on the mountains, and scorned Me on the hills. So I will measure into their laps full wages for their former deeds.”
