Isaiah 65:1-4 English Standard Version (ESV)

1. I was ready to be sought by those who did not ask for me;I was ready to be found by those who did not seek me.I said, “Here I am, here I am,”to a nation that was not called by my name.

2. I spread out my hands all the dayto a rebellious people,who walk in a way that is not good,following their own devices;

3. a people who provoke meto my face continually, sacrificing in gardensand making offerings on bricks;

4. who sit in tombs,and spend the night in secret places; who eat pig’s flesh,and broth of tainted meat is in their vessels;
