1. I, the Lord, was readyto answer even thosewho were not askingand to be found by thosewho were not searching.To a nation that refusedto worship me,I said, “Here I am!”
2. All day long I have reached outto stubborn and sinful peoplegoing their own way.
3. They keep making me angryby sneering at me,while offering sacrificesto idols in gardensand burning incenseto them on bricks.
4. They spend their nightshiding in burial caves;they eat the meat of pigs,cooked in saucesmade of stuff unfit to eat.
