1 “I am inquired of by those who didn’t ask.I am found by those who didn’t seek me.I said, ‘See me, see me,’ to a nation that was not called by my name.
2 I have spread out my hands all day to a rebellious people,who walk in a way that is not good,after their own thoughts;
3 a people who provoke me to my face continually,sacrificing in gardens,and burning incense on bricks;
4 who sit among the graves,and spend nights in secret places;who eat pig’s meat,and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
5 who say, ‘Stay by yourself,don’t come near to me,for I am holier than you.’These are smoke in my nose,a fire that burns all day.
6 “Behold, it is written before me:I will not keep silence,but will repay,yes, I will repay into their bosom,
7 your own iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together”, says the Lord,“who have burned incense on the mountains,and blasphemed me on the hills.Therefore I will first measure their work into their bosom.”
