King James Version
“
I revealed
Myself
to
those
who
did
not ask
for Me; I was
found by
those
who
did
not seek
Me .
To
a nation that did
not call
My name ,
I
said,
‘Here
I
am!
Here
I
am!’
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 .
All
day
long
I have held
out My hands to
an
obstinate
people who
walk
in the
wrong
path
, who
follow
their own imaginations,
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;
to
a people who
continually
provoke
Me to My face ,
sacrificing
in the
gardens and burning
incense on
altars of brick ,
A people that
provoketh
me to anger
continually
to
my face ;
that
sacrificeth
in gardens ,
and burneth
incense upon
altars of brick ;
sitting
among the graves, spending
nights
in secret
places,
eating
the meat
of
pigs
and polluted
broth from
their bowls.
Which
remain
among the graves, and
lodge
in the monuments,
which
eat
swine's
flesh,
and broth of
abominable
things
is
in
their vessels;
They
say, ‘Keep
to
yourself;
do
not
come near me ,
for I am holier than you!’
Such
people
are smoke in My nostrils
, a fire that burns
all day long
.
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.
Behold, it is written before Me: I will not keep silent
, but I
will repay;
I
will
pay
it
back
into their laps
,
Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence
, but will recompense,
even
recompense
into their bosom
,
both
for
your iniquities and for
those
of your fathers, ”
says
the LORD .
“Because
they
burned incense on
the mountains and scorned
Me on
the hills ,
I
will measure into
their laps
full
payment
for
their
former deeds
. ”
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
.
This
is
what
the LORD says:
“
As the new wine is found in a
cluster of
grapes
, and men
say
, ‘Do
not
destroy it ,
for it
contains
a blessing ,’
so I
will act
on
behalf
of
My servants ;
I will
not destroy them all.
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.
And I will bring forth descendants
from
Jacob, and heirs
from
Judah ;
My
elect
will
possess
My mountains, and My servants will
dwell there.
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.
Sharon will
become
a pasture
for
flocks, and the Valley of Achor a resting
place for herds, for My people who
seek
Me.
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.
But you
who
forsake the LORD, who
forget My holy mountain, who
set
a table for Fortune
and
fill
bowls
of
mixed
wine
for
Destiny
,
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.
I
will destine
you for
the sword, and you
will
all kneel
down to be
slaughtered,
because I called and
you
did not answer ,
I spoke
and
you
did not listen
; you
did evil in
My
sight
and chose
that in
which
I did
not delight
. ”
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.
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.
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:
My servants will
shout
for joy with
a
glad
heart, but you
will
cry out
with
a
heavy
heart and wail
with
a
broken
spirit.
Behold,
my servants shall
sing
for joy of
heart, but ye
shall
cry for
sorrow
of
heart ,
and shall
howl
for
vexation
of
spirit.
You
will
leave behind
your name as
a curse for
My chosen ones,
and
the Lord GOD will
slay you;
but
to
His servants He
will
give
another name .
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 :
Whoever
invokes
a
blessing
in the land
will
do
so
by
the God of truth ,
and whoever
takes
an
oath
in the land
will
swear by the God of truth .
For
the former troubles will
be
forgotten and hidden
from My
sight
.
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
.
For behold, I will
create new heavens and a new earth .
The former things
will
not be remembered, nor will
they
come to
mind.
For ,
behold, I create new heavens and a new earth :
and
the former shall
not be remembered, nor come into
mind.
But be glad and rejoice forever
in what
I create ;
for I will
create Jerusalem to
be
a joy
and its
people to
be
a delight
.
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
.
I will rejoice in Jerusalem and take
delight
in My people .
The sounds
of weeping and
crying
will
no
longer
be heard in her.
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
.
No longer
will
a
nursing
infant live
but
a
few
days, or
an old man fail
to
live
out
his years.
For the youth
will
die at
a
hundred years ,
and
he
who
fails
to
reach
a
hundred will
be considered
accursed.
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.
They will
build houses and dwell
in
them; they will
plant vineyards and eat their
fruit.
And
they shall
build houses ,
and inhabit
them; and
they shall
plant vineyards ,
and eat the
fruit of
them
.
No
longer
will
they build houses
for
others
to
inhabit
, nor
plant for
others
to
eat .
For as is
the lifetime
of a tree ,
so
will
be
the days of My people, and My
chosen
ones
will
fully
enjoy the work of their hands.
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.
They will
not labor
in vain or
bear
children
doomed
to
disaster
; for they will
be
a
people
blessed by
the LORD —
they
and their descendants
with them.
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.
Even
before they call, I will answer ,
and while they are still
speaking, I will hear.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
that
before they call, I will answer ;
and while they are yet
speaking, I will hear.
The wolf and the lamb will
feed together, and the lion will
eat straw like the ox,
but
the
food
of
the
serpent
will
be
dust. They will
neither
harm
nor destroy on
all My holy mountain, ”
says
the LORD.
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.
