I AM sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019667">2</a>. I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019668">3</a>. A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019669">4</a>. Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019670">5</a>. Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou.  These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019671">6</a>. Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019672">7</a>. Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the LORD, which have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their former work into their bosom.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019673">8</a>. Thus saith the LORD, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants' sakes, that I may not destroy them all.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019674">9</a>. And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019675">10</a>. And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019676">11</a>. But ye are they that forsake the LORD, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop, and that furnish the drink offering unto that number.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019677">12</a>. Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019678">13</a>. Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019679">14</a>. Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of spirit.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019680">15</a>. And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord GOD shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019681">16</a>. That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019682">17</a>. For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019683">18</a>. But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019684">19</a>. And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019685">20</a>. There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019686">21</a>. And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019687">22</a>. They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019688">23</a>. They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019689">24</a>. And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1019690">25</a>. The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat.  They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.</li>
