Isa 65:1-7

I was ready to respond to those who did not ask,

to be found by those who did not seek me.

I said: Here I am! Here I am!

To a nation that did not invoke my name.

I have stretched out my hands all day

to a rebellious people,

Who walk in a way that is not good,

following their own designs;

A people who provoke me

continually to my face,

Offering sacrifices in gardens

and burning incense on bricks,

Sitting in tombs

and spending the night in caves,

Eating the flesh of pigs,

with broth of unclean meat in their dishes;

Crying out, “Hold back,

do not come near me, lest I render you holy!”
