I let myself be sought by those who never asked for me; I let myself be found by those who never looked for me. I said, "Here I am, here I am," to a nation that never called on my name.
All day long I have held out my hands to a rebellious people, who walk a path that is not good, following their own devices—
a people who provoke me to my face without ceasing, sacrificing in gardens and burning incense on bricks,
who sit among the graves and spend the night in secret places, who eat the flesh of swine, with broth of foul things in their pots,
who say, "Keep your distance! Do not come near me, for I am holier than you." These are smoke in my nostrils, a fire that smolders all day long.
See, it stands written before me: I will not keep silent, but I will repay—I will repay it into their lap,
your own sins together with the sins of your fathers, says the LORD. Because they burned incense on the mountains and defied me on the hills, I will measure out into their lap the wages of their former deeds.
This is what the LORD says: As when juice is still found in a cluster of grapes and someone says, "Do not destroy it, there is a blessing in it," so will I do for the sake of my servants: I will not destroy them all.
I will bring forth offspring from Jacob, and from Judah those who will possess my mountains. My chosen ones will possess it, and my servants will dwell there.
Sharon will become a pasture for flocks, and the Valley of Achor a resting place for cattle, for my people who seek me.
But as for you who forsake the LORD and forget my holy mountain, who spread a table for Fortune and fill cups of mixed wine for Destiny—
I will assign you to the sword, and you will all bow down for the slaughter. For I called and you did not answer; I spoke and you did not listen. You did what is evil in my eyes and chose what displeases me.
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: My servants will eat, but you will go hungry; my servants will drink, but you will go thirsty; my servants will rejoice, but you will be put to shame.
My servants will sing out of gladness of heart, but you will cry out from anguish of heart and wail from a broken spirit.
You will leave your name behind as a curse to my chosen ones; the Lord GOD will put you to death, but his servants he will call by another name.
Whoever invokes a blessing in the land will do so by the God of truth, and whoever swears an oath in the land will swear by the God of truth. For the former troubles are forgotten, and hidden from my eyes.
See, I am creating new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.
Instead, rejoice and be glad forever in what I create; for I am about to create Jerusalem as a delight and her people as a joy.
I will rejoice over Jerusalem and delight in my people; the sound of weeping and crying will never be heard in her again.
Never again will there be an infant who lives but a few days, or an old man who does not live out his years. The one who dies at a hundred will be thought a mere youth, and the sinner who reaches only a hundred will be considered cursed.
They will build houses and live in them; they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
They will not build for another to inhabit, nor plant for another to eat. For my people's days will be like the days of a tree, and my chosen ones will long enjoy the work of their hands.
They will not labor in vain, nor bear children for calamity; for they are offspring blessed by the LORD, they and their descendants with them.
Before they call, I will answer; while they are still speaking, I will hear.
The wolf and the lamb will graze together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox, but the serpent's food will be dust. They will do no harm and work no ruin on all my holy mountain, says the LORD.
