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 out
my hands
all the day
unto a rebellious
people,
which walketh
in a way
that was not good,
after
their own thoughts;
A people
that provoketh me to anger
continually
to my face;
that sacrificeth
in gardens,
and burneth incense
upon altars of brick;

Which remain
among the graves,

which eat

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.
Behold, it is written
before
me: I will not keep silence,
but will recompense,
even recompense
into their bosom,
Your iniquities,
and the iniquities
of your fathers
together,
saith
the LORD,
which have burned incense
upon the mountains,
and blasphemed
me upon the hills:
therefore will I measure
their former
work
into their bosom.
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 forth
a seed
out of Jacob,
and out of Judah
an inheritor
of my mountains:
and mine elect
shall inherit
it, and my servants
shall dwell
there.
And Sharon
shall be a fold
of flocks,
and the valley
of Achor
a place for the herds
to lie down in,
for my people
that have sought
me.
But ye are they that forsake
the LORD,
that forget
my holy
mountain,
that prepare
a table
for that troop,
and that furnish
the drink offering
unto that number.

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 servants
shall eat,
but ye shall be hungry:
behold, my servants
shall drink,
but ye shall be thirsty:
behold, my servants
shall rejoice,
but ye shall be ashamed:
Behold, my servants
shall sing
for joy
of heart,
but ye shall cry
for sorrow
of heart,
and shall howl
for vexation
of spirit.

And ye shall leave
your name
for a curse
unto my chosen:
for the Lord
GOD
shall slay
thee, and call
his servants
by another
name:
That he who blesseth
himself in the earth
shall bless
himself in the God
of truth;
and he that sweareth
in the earth
shall swear
by the God
of truth;
because the former
troubles
are forgotten,
and because they are hid
from mine eyes.
For, behold, I create
new
heavens
and a new
earth:
and the former
shall not be remembered,
nor come
into mind.
But be ye glad
and rejoice
for ever
in that which I create:
for, behold, I create
Jerusalem
a rejoicing,
and her people
a joy.
And I will rejoice
in Jerusalem,
and joy
in my people:
and the voice
of weeping
shall be no more heard
in her, nor the voice
of crying.
There shall be no more thence an infant
of days,
nor an old man
that hath not filled
his days:
for the child
shall die
an hundred
years
old;
but the sinner
being an hundred
years
old
shall be accursed.

They shall not build,
and another
inhabit;
they shall not plant,
and another
eat:
for as the days
of a tree
are the days
of my people,
and mine elect
shall long enjoy
the work
of their hands.
They shall not labour
in vain,
nor bring forth
for trouble;
for they are the seed
of the blessed
of the LORD,
and their offspring
with them.

And it shall come to pass, that before they call,
I will answer;
and while they are yet speaking,
I will hear.
The wolf
and the lamb
shall feed
together,
and the lion
shall eat
straw
like the bullock:
and dust
shall be the serpent's
meat.
They shall not hurt
nor destroy
in all my holy
mountain,

the LORD.
