1. THEY have sought me that before asked not for me, they have found me that sought me not. I said: Behold me, behold me, to a nation that did not call upon my name.
2. I have spread forth my hands all the day to an unbelieving people, who walk in a way that is not good after their own thoughts.
3. A people that continually provoke me to anger before my face: that immolate in gardens, and sacrifice upon bricks.
4. That dwell in sepulchres, and sleep in the temple of idols: that eat swine's flesh, and profane broth is in their vessels.
5. That say: Depart from me, come not near me, because thou art unclean: these shall be smoke in my anger, a fire burning all the day.
6. Behold it is written before me: I will not be silent, but I will render and repay into their bosom.
