I am
sought of them that
asked not for me; I am
found of them that
sought me
not: I
said, Behold me, behold me, unto a
nation that was not
called by my
name.

I have spread

Your

LORD, which have burned
incense upon the

blasphemed me upon the

measure their
former work into their

Thus
saith the
LORD, As the new
wine is
found in the
cluster, and one
saith,
Destroy it not; for a
blessing is in it: so will I
do for my
servants' sakes, that I may not
destroy them all.

And I will bring

Therefore will I
number you to the
sword, and ye shall all bow
down to the
slaughter: because when I
called, ye did not
answer; when I
spake, ye did not
hear; but
did evil before mine
eyes, and did
choose that wherein I
delighted not.

Therefore thus
saith the
Lord GOD, Behold, my

That he who
