1
I am sought of them that askednot 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.
2
I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebelliouspeople, which walketh in a way that was not good,after their own thoughts;
3
A people that provoketh me to angercontinually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick;
4
Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments , which eatswine'sflesh, and broth* of abominable things is in their vessels;
5
Which say , Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.
6
Behold, it is writtenbefore me: I will not keep silence , but will recompense , even recompense into their bosom,
7
Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fatherstogether,saith the LORD, which have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their formerwork into their bosom.
