1 "I am inquired of by those who didn’t ask.

I am found by those who didn’t seek me.

I said, ‘See me, see me,’ to a nation that was not called by my name.

2 I have spread out my hands all day to a rebellious people,

who walk in a way that is not good,

after their own thoughts;

3 a people who provoke me to my face continually,

sacrificing in gardens,

and burning incense on bricks;

4 who sit among the graves,

and spend nights in secret places;

who eat pig’s meat,

and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;

5 who say, ‘Stay by yourself,

don’t come near to me,

for I am holier than you.’

These are smoke in my nose,

a fire that burns all day.

6 "Behold, it is written before me:

I will not keep silence,

but will repay,

yes, I will repay into their bosom

7 your own iniquities and the iniquities of your fathers together", says Yahweh,

"who have burned incense on the mountains,

and blasphemed me on the hills.

Therefore I will first measure their work into their bosom."

8 Yahweh says,

"As the new wine is found in the cluster,

and one says, ‘Don’t destroy it, for a blessing is in it:’

so I will do for my servants’ sake,

that I may not destroy them all.

9 I will bring offspring out of Jacob,

and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains.

My chosen will inherit it,

and my servants will dwell there.

10 Sharon will be a fold of flocks,

and the valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down in,

for my people who have sought me.

11 "But you who forsake Yahweh,

who forget my holy mountain,

who prepare a table for Fortune,

and who fill up mixed wine to Destiny;

12 I will destine you to the sword,

and you will all bow down to the slaughter;

because when I called, you didn’t answer.

When I spoke, you didn’t listen;

but you did that which was evil in my eyes,

and chose that in which I didn’t delight."

13 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says,

"Behold, my servants will eat,

but you will be hungry;

behold, my servants will drink,

but you will be thirsty.

Behold, my servants will rejoice,

but you will be disappointed.

14 Behold, my servants will sing for joy of heart,

but you will cry for sorrow of heart,

and will wail for anguish of spirit.

15 You will leave your name for a curse to my chosen,

and the Lord Yahweh will kill you.

He will call his servants by another name,

16 so that he who blesses himself in the earth will bless himself in the God of truth;

and he who swears in the earth will swear by the God of truth;

because the former troubles are forgotten,

and because they are hidden from my eyes.

17 "For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth;

and the former things will not be remembered,

nor come into mind.

18 But be glad and rejoice forever in that which I create;

for, behold, I create Jerusalem to be a delight,

and her people a joy.

19 I will rejoice in Jerusalem,

and delight in my people;

and the voice of weeping and the voice of crying

will be heard in her no more.

20 "No more will there be an infant who only lives a few days,

nor an old man who has not filled his days;

for the child will die one hundred years old,

and the sinner being one hundred years old will be accursed.

21 They will build houses and inhabit them.

They will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

22 They will not build and another inhabit.

They will not plant and another eat;

for the days of my people will be like the days of a tree,

and my chosen will long enjoy the work of their hands.

23 They will not labor in vain

nor give birth for calamity;

for they are the offspring of Yahweh’s blessed

and their descendants with them.

24 It will happen that before they call, I will answer;

and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

25 The wolf and the lamb will feed together.

The lion will eat straw like the ox.

Dust will be the serpent’s food.

They will not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain,"

says Yahweh.

1 I was sought of [those that] did not ask [for me]; I was found of [those that] did not seek me; I said, Here I am, Here I am, unto a people [that] did not invoke my name.

2 I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, who walk in a way [that was] not good, after their own thoughts;

3 a people that provokes me to anger continually to my face; that sacrifices in gardens, and burns incense upon altars of brick;

4 who remain [asleep] among the graves, and lodge in the deserts, who eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable [things is in] their vessels;

5 who say, Stand by thyself, do not come near to me; for I am holier than thou. These [are] a smoke in my nose, a fire that burns all the day.

6 Behold, [it is] written before me: I will not keep silence but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom,

7 For your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the LORD, who have burned incense upon the mountains and blasphemed me upon the hills; therefore, I will measure their former work into their bosom.

8 Thus has the LORD said, As when [one] has found new wine in a cluster and says, Do not destroy it; for a blessing [is] in it; so will I do for my servants' sakes, that I may not destroy them all.

9 And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains; and my elect shall possess the land for an inheritance, and my servants shall dwell there.

10 And Sharon shall be for 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.

11 But ye that forsake the LORD, that forget the mountain of my holiness, that prepare a table unto fortune, and that furnish the drink offering for destiny;

12 I also will destine you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter because when I called, ye did not respond; I spoke, and ye did not hear, but did evil before my eyes and did choose that which displeased [me].

13 Therefore thus has the Lord GOD said, 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:

14 Behold, my servants shall rejoice by the joy of [their] heart, but ye shall cry for the sorrow of [your] heart and shall howl for the destruction of spirit.

15 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.

16 He who blesses himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that swears in the earth shall swear by the God of truth because the former troubles shall be forgotten and shall be covered from my eyes.

17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

18 But ye shall be glad and rejoice from age to age in the things which I shall create; for, behold, I create joy unto Jerusalem and unto her people joy.

19 And I will be glad with Jerusalem and rejoice with my people: and the voice of weeping shall no longer be heard in her, nor the voice of crying.

20 There shall no longer be there an infant of days, nor an old man that has not filled his days for the child shall die one hundred years old; and he who sins at one hundred years of age shall be accursed.

21 And they shall build houses and inhabit [them]; and they shall plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them.

22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of the trees shall be the days of my people, and my elect shall perpetuate the work of their hands.

23 They shall not labour in vain, nor give birth with fear; for their [births] are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring shall be with them.

24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

25 The wolf and the lamb shall be fed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox; and dust [shall be] the serpent's food. They shall not afflict nor do evil in all my holy mountain, said the LORD.:
