not for Me; I sam_found of them that sought Me not:
I said, “Behold Me, behold Me,” unto a nation that was not called by My name.
2T -have_spread_out My hands all the day unto a rebellious -people,
x1Which walketh_in a@ xway that was not good, after their_own thoughts ;
3A x-people x+that provoketh Me to_anger continually to My face ;
4That_sacrificeth in xgardens, and 4burneth_incense upon ¥ xaltars_ of_brick; -
4 x1Which remain among the graves, And "lodge in the s monuments, x4Which eat xswine’s flesh, : And broth_of abominable things is
an their vessels ;
5x1Which say, “Stand by thyself, Feome not near to me; for [ am holier_than thou.”
These are a smoke in My nose, a fire +that_burneth all the day.
6 Behold, zt +is_written before Me: I will not keep-silence,
But -will_recompense, even srecom- pense into their bosom,
7 Your iniquities, and the_iniquities_ of your fathers together, -saith Jthe Lorp,
Which have burned_incense upon the mountains,
And dblasphemed Me upon the}
hills: Therefore -will_I_measure their former work into their bosom. 8 Thus -saith Jthe Lorp, «As the new_wine fis_found in the cluster, And one ssaith, “Destroy it not; for a blessing 7s 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 Mine And My servants shall_dwell there. 10 And xSharon -shall_be a fold_of flocks, And the_valley_of Achor a place for the herds to_lie_down_in, es My -people that ‘have_sought e.
it Burs pe are sthey_that_forsake J the
RD xThat forget My holy -mountain, x1That prepare a table ‘for that
xtroop,
And xthat / furnish the mi drink_ offering unto that m xnumber.
12 Therefore -will_I_¢number pou to
the sword,
And ye shall all bow_down to the slaughter :
Because when I called, ye did not answer ;
IsatAH LXV. 24.
When I spake, ye did not hear ; But did xevil before Mine eyes, And did_choose that xwherein I delighted not. 18 Therefore thus ssaith Athe =Lord 1 Gop, Behold, My servants shall_eat, but pe shall_be_hungry: Behold, My servants shall_drink, but pe shall_be_thirsty : Behold, My servants shall_rejoice, but pe shall_be_ashamed : 14 Behold, My servants shall_sing for joy_of heart, But pe shall_cry for sorrow-of
heart, And shall_howl /* for vexation_of spirit. 15 And ye sshall_leave your name for a curse unto My chosen: For Athe =Lord JGop -shall-_slay
thee, And tcall His servants by another
name;
16 That xzhe_who blesseth_himself in the earth shall_bless_himself in the_=God_of « truth ;
And x+he_that sweareth in the earth shall_swear by the_=God_of “a truth;
Because the former xtroubles -are_ forgotten, and because they ‘are_ hid from Mine eyes.
WV For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth:
And the =former shall not be_ remembered, nor ccome into mind.
18 But -be_ye_glad and -rejoice for ever in that which ¥ -create :
For, behold, I+create Jerusalem a rejoicing,
And her —people a joy.
19 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 erying.
20 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 a hundred years old ;
But the sinner being a hundred years old 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 a «tree are the_ days_of My -people,
And ™ Mine =elect shall_long_en- joy the_work_of their hands.
23 They shall not labour in vain,
Nor bring forth for xtrouble ;
For thep are the_seed_of the_ =blessed_of J the Lorn,
And their offspring with them.
24 And it -shall_come_to_pass, that before they ‘call, € will_answer ;
¥ will_hear.
And while thep +are_yet_speaking, !
