1
I was ready to respond to those who didn't ask. I was ready to be found by those who didn't look for me. I said, "I'm here! I'm here!" to a nation that didn't call on my name.
2
I extended my hands all day to a rebellious people walking in a way that isn't good, following their own plans;
3
people who provoke me to my face continually, sacrificing in gardens and burning incense on bricks,
4
who sit in tombs and spend the night among rocks; who eat swine's flesh with broth of unclean meat in their bowls;
5
who say, "Keep to yourself! Keep away from me! I'm too holy for you." These people ignite my anger like a fire that burns all day.
