1 Those who before were not asking for me have sought me. Those who have not sought me have found me. I said, 'Behold, it is I! Behold, it is I!' to a nation which was not invoking my name.
2 I have extended my hands all day long to an unbelieving people, who advance along a way that is not good, following their own thoughts,
3 to a people who provoke me to anger before my face continually, who immolate in the gardens, and who sacrifice upon the bricks.
4 They live in sepulchers, and they sleep in the shrines of idols. They eat the flesh of swine, and a profane elixir is in their vessels.
5 They say: 'Depart from me! Do not approach me, for you are unclean!' Such as these will be the smoke in my fury, a fire burning all day long.
