Isaiah 65:2

Judgment And Salvation

¹ I permitted myself to be sought by those who did not ask for me. Those who did not seek me found me. To a nation that did not call on my name, I said: 'Here I am, here I am.' ² “I have spread out My hands all day long to a rebellious people,
Who walk in the way which is not good, following their own thoughts,
³ a people who continually provoke me to my very face, offering sacrifices in gardens and burning incense on altars of brick.
