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.
7. Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the Lord, who have sacrificed upon the mountains, and have reproached me upon the hills; and I will measure back their first work in their bosom.
