[1]I am soughtH1875[H8738] of them that askedH7592[H8804] notH3808 for me; I am foundH4672[H8738] of them that soughtH1245[H8765] me notH3808: I saidH559[H8804], Behold me, behold me, unto a nationH1471 that was not calledH7121[H8795] by my nameH8034.
[2]I have spread outH6566[H8765] my handsH3027 all the dayH3117 unto a rebelliousH5637[H8802] peopleH5971, which walkethH1980[H8802] in a wayH1870 that was not goodH2896, afterH310 their own thoughtsH4284;
[3]A peopleH5971 that provoketh me to angerH3707[H8688] continuallyH8548 to my faceH6440; that sacrificethH2076[H8802] in gardensH1593, and burneth incenseH6999[H8764] upon altars of brickH3843;
[4]Which remainH3427[H8802] among the gravesH6913, and lodgeH3885[H8799] in the monumentsH5341[H8803], which eatH398[H8802] swine'sH2386 fleshH1320, and brothH4839[H8675][H6564] of abominableH6292 things is in their vesselsH3627;
[5]Which sayH559[H8802], StandH7126[H8798] by thyself, come not nearH5066[H8799] to me; for I am holierH6942[H8804] than thou. These are a smokeH6227 in my noseH639, a fireH784 that burnethH3344[H8802] all the dayH3117.
[6]Behold, it is writtenH3789[H8803] beforeH6440 me: I will not keep silenceH2814[H8799], but will recompenseH7999[H8765], even recompenseH7999[H8765] into their bosomH2436,
[7]Your iniquitiesH5771, and the iniquitiesH5771 of your fathersH1 togetherH3162, saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068, which have burned incenseH6999[H8765] upon the mountainsH2022, and blasphemedH2778[H8765] me upon the hillsH1389: therefore will I measureH4058[H8804] their formerH7223 workH6468 into their bosomH2436.
[8]Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068, As the new wineH8492 is foundH4672[H8735] in the clusterH811, and one saithH559[H8804], DestroyH7843[H8686] it not; for a blessingH1293 is in it: so will I doH6213[H8799] for my servants'H5650 sakes, that I may not destroyH7843 them allH8687.
[9]And I will bring forthH3318[H8689] a seedH2233 out of JacobH3290, and out of JudahH3063 an inheritorH3423[H8802] of my mountainsH2022: and mine electH972 shall inheritH3423[H8804] it, and my servantsH5650 shall dwellH7931 thereH8799.
[10]And SharonH8289 shall be a foldH5116 of flocksH6629, and the valleyH6010 of AchorH5911 a place for the herdsH1241 to lie down inH7258, for my peopleH5971 that have soughtH1875 meH8804.
[11]But ye are they that forsakeH5800[H8802] the LORDH3068, that forgetH7913 my holyH6944 mountainH2022, that prepareH6186[H8802] a tableH7979 for that troopH1409[H8677][H1408], and that furnishH4390[H8764] the drink offeringH4469 unto that numberH4507.
[12]Therefore will I numberH4487[H8804] you to the swordH2719, and ye shall all bow downH3766[H8799] to the slaughterH2874: because when I calledH7121[H8804], ye did not answerH6030[H8804]; when I spakeH1696[H8765], ye did not hearH8085[H8804]; but didH6213[H8799] evilH7451 before mine eyesH5869, and did chooseH977[H8804] that wherein I delightedH2654 notH8804.
[13]Therefore thus saithH559[H8804] the LordH136 GODH3069, Behold, my servantsH5650 shall eatH398[H8799], but ye shall be hungryH7456[H8799]: behold, my servantsH5650 shall drinkH8354[H8799], but ye shall be thirstyH6770[H8799]: behold, my servantsH5650 shall rejoiceH8055[H8799], but ye shall be ashamedH954:[H8799]
[14]Behold, my servantsH5650 shall singH7442[H8799] for joyH2898 of heartH3820, but ye shall cryH6817[H8799] for sorrowH3511 of heartH3820, and shall howlH3213[H8686] for vexationH7667 of spiritH7307.
[15]And ye shall leaveH3240[H8689] your nameH8034 for a curseH7621 unto my chosenH972: for the LordH136 GODH3069 shall slayH4191[H8689] thee, and callH7121[H8799] his servantsH5650 by anotherH312 nameH8034:
[16]That he who blessethH1288[H8693] himself in the earthH776 shall blessH1288[H8691] himself in the GodH430 of truthH543; and he that swearethH7650[H8737] in the earthH776 shall swearH7650[H8735] by the GodH430 of truthH543; because the formerH7223 troublesH6869 are forgottenH7911[H8738], and because they are hidH5641[H8738] from mine eyesH5869.
[17]For, behold, I createH1254[H8802] newH2319 heavensH8064 and a newH2319 earthH776: and the formerH7223 shall not be rememberedH2142[H8735], nor comeH5927[H8799] into mindH3820.
[18]But be ye gladH7797[H8798] and rejoiceH1523[H8798] for everH5703 in that which I createH1254[H8802]: for, behold, I createH1254[H8802] JerusalemH3389 a rejoicingH1525, and her peopleH5971 a joyH4885.
[19]And I will rejoiceH1523[H8804] in JerusalemH3389, and joyH7797[H8804] in my peopleH5971: and the voiceH6963 of weepingH1065 shall be no more heardH8085[H8735] in her, nor the voiceH6963 of cryingH2201.
[20]There shall be no more thence an infantH5764 of daysH3117, nor an old manH2205 that hath not filledH4390[H8762] his daysH3117: for the childH5288 shall dieH4191[H8799] an hundredH3967 yearsH8141 oldH1121; but the sinnerH2398[H8802] being an hundredH3967 yearsH8141 oldH1121 shall be accursedH7043.[H8792]
[21]And they shall buildH1129[H8804] housesH1004, and inhabitH3427[H8804] them; and they shall plantH5193[H8804] vineyardsH3754, and eatH398[H8804] the fruit of themH6529.
[22]They shall not buildH1129[H8799], and anotherH312 inhabitH3427[H8799]; they shall not plantH5193[H8799], and anotherH312 eatH398[H8799]: for as the daysH3117 of a treeH6086 are the daysH3117 of my peopleH5971, and mine electH972 shall long enjoyH1086[H8762] the workH4639 of their handsH3027.
[23]They shall not labourH3021[H8799] in vainH7385, nor bring forthH3205[H8799] for troubleH928; for they are the seedH2233 of the blessedH1288[H8803] of the LORDH3068, and their offspring with themH6631.
[24]And it shall come to pass, that before they callH7121[H8799], I will answerH6030[H8799]; and while they are yet speakingH1696[H8764], I will hearH8085.[H8799]
[25]The wolfH2061 and the lambH2924 shall feedH7462[H8799] togetherH259, and the lionH738 shall eatH398[H8799] strawH8401 like the bullockH1241: and dustH6083 shall be the serpent'sH5175 meatH3899. They shall not hurtH7489[H8686] nor destroyH7843[H8686] in all my holyH6944 mountainH2022, saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068.
