65I was ready to be sought out by 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 call on my name.H1875H7592H3808H4672H1245H3808H559H1471H7121H8034 2I held out my hands all day long to a rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good, following their own devices;H6566H3027H3117H5637H5971H1980H1870H2896H310H4284 3a people who provoke me to my face continually, sacrificing in gardens and offering incense on bricks;H5971H3707H8548H6440H2076H1593H6999H3843 4who sit inside tombs, and spend the night in secret places; who eat swine's flesh, with broth of abominable things in their vessels;H3427H6913H3885H5341H398H2386H1320H4839H6564H6292H3627 5who say, "Keep to yourself, do not come near me, for I am too holy for you." These are a smoke in my nostrils, a fire that burns all day long.H559H7126H5066H6942H6227H639H784H3344H3117 6See, it is written before me: I will not keep silent, but I will repay; I will indeed repay into their lapsH3789H6440H2814H7999H7999H2436 7their iniquities and their ancestors' iniquities together, says the LORD; because they offered incense on the mountains and reviled me on the hills, I will measure into their laps full payment for their actions.H5771H5771H1H3162H559H3068H6999H2022H2778H1389H4058H7223H6468H2436 8Thus says the LORD: As the wine is found in the cluster, and they say, "Do not destroy it, for there is a blessing in it," so I will do for my servants' sake, and not destroy them all.H559H3068H8492H4672H811H559H7843H1293H6213H5650H7843 9I will bring forth descendants from Jacob, and from Judah inheritors of my mountains; my chosen shall inherit it, and my servants shall settle there.H3318H2233H3290H3063H3423H2022H972H3423H5650H7931 10Sharon shall become a pasture for flocks, and the Valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down, for my people who have sought me.H8289H5116H6629H6010H5911H1241H7258H5971H1875 11But you who forsake the LORD, who forget my holy mountain, who set a table for Fortune and fill cups of mixed wine for Destiny;H5800H3068H7913H6944H2022H6186H7979H1409H1408H4390H4469H4507 12I will destine you to the sword, and all of you shall bow down to the slaughter; because, when I called, you did not answer, when I spoke, you did not listen, but you did what was evil in my sight, and chose what I did not delight in.H4487H2719H3766H2874H7121H6030H1696H8085H6213H7451H5869H977H2654 13Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: My servants shall eat, but you shall be hungry; my servants shall drink, but you shall be thirsty; my servants shall rejoice, but you shall be put to shame;H559H136H3069H5650H398H7456H5650H8354H6770H5650H8055H954 14my servants shall sing for gladness of heart, but you shall cry out for pain of heart, and shall wail for anguish of spirit.H5650H7442H2898H3820H6817H3511H3820H3213H7667H7307 15You shall leave your name to my chosen to use as a curse, and the Lord GOD will put you to death; but to his servants he will give a different name.H3240H8034H7621H972H136H3069H4191H7121H5650H312H8034 16Then whoever invokes a blessing in the land shall bless by the God of faithfulness, and whoever takes an oath in the land shall swear by the God of faithfulness; because the former troubles are forgotten and are hidden from my sight.H1288H776H1288H430H543H7650H776H7650H430H543H7223H6869H7911H5641H5869 17For I am about to create new heavens and a new earth; the former things shall not be remembered or come to mind.H1254H2319H8064H2319H776H7223H2142H5927H3820 18But be glad and rejoice forever in what I am creating; for I am about to create Jerusalem as a joy, and its people as a delight.H7797H1523H5703H1254H1254H3389H1525H5971H4885 19I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and delight in my people; no more shall the sound of weeping be heard in it, or the cry of distress.H1523H3389H7797H5971H6963H1065H8085H6963H2201 20No more shall there be in it an infant that lives but a few days, or an old person who does not live out a lifetime; for one who dies at a hundred years will be considered a youth, and one who falls short of a hundred will be considered accursed.H5764H3117H2205H4390H3117H5288H4191H3967H8141H1121H2398H3967H8141H1121H7043 21They shall build houses and inhabit them; they shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit.H1129H1004H3427H5193H3754H398H6529 22They shall not build and another inhabit; they shall not plant and another eat; for like the days of a tree shall the days of my people be, and my chosen shall long enjoy the work of their hands.H1129H312H3427H5193H312H398H3117H6086H3117H5971H972H1086H4639H3027 23They shall not labor in vain, or bear children for calamity; for they shall be offspring blessed by the LORD—and their descendants as well.H3021H7385H3205H928H2233H1288H3068H6631 24Before they call I will answer, while they are yet speaking I will hear.H7121H6030H1696H8085 25The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, the lion shall eat straw like the ox; but the serpent—its food shall be dust! They shall not hurt or destroy on all my holy mountain, says the LORD.H2061H2924H7462H259H738H398H8401H1241H6083H5175H3899H7489H7843H6944H2022H559H3068
