1I am desired by those who have not asked for me, and I was found by those who did not seek for me. I have said: “Here I am, here I am!”, to the people who did not call my name

2I have stretched my hands all day to a people that is disobedient, who walk after their counsels in a way that is not beautiful

3The people who angers me constantly, sacrificing in gardens and laying sweet spices on stones

4And they sit in graves and lodge in caves and eat meat of pigs and they pollute their garments with corpses to violate the Law, and to defile the holy covenant that they would anger LORD JEHOVAH

5And they were saying, “Go far away; do not come near to me, because I am hallowed!” These were smoke in my rage and a fire burning every day

6Behold, it is written before me: “I shall not be silent until I shall pay them double into their bosom

7Their sins and the sins of their fathers are evident, says LORD JEHOVAH, for they have put sweet incense on the mountains, and upon the hills they reproached me. I shall measure their first works into their bosom”

8Thus says LORD JEHOVAH: “As a bunch is found in a cluster, and a man says to his neighbor, ‘You shall not destroy it, because a blessing is in it’, thus I shall do because of my Servant, and I shall not destroy them all

9And I shall bring out seed from Yaqob and from Yehuda, the heir of my mountain, and my chosen ones shall inherit it, and my Servants shall dwell there

10And Sharon will be pastures for flocks, and the Valley of Akur for pens of herds, for my people who have sought me

11And you who have forsaken LORD JEHOVAH and have forgotten his holy mountain, and you have filled tables for The Fortunes, and you mixed wine pots for them

12I shall number you for the sword and all of you shall be destroyed in slaughter, because I called and you did not answer, and I have spoken and you have not heard, and you did what is evil before me, and you have chosen what I do not wish

13Because of this, thus says LORD JEHOVAH God: “Behold, my Servants shall eat and you shall be hungry. Behold, my Servants shall drink, and you shall be thirsty. Behold, my Servants shall rejoice, and you shall weep

14Behold, my Servants shall sing from the blessings of their heart, and you shall complain from the sorrow of your heart and from the breaking of your spirit

15And you shall leave your name a curse for my chosen ones, and LORD JEHOVAH God shall put you to death, and he shall call his Servants another name

16He who is blessed in the earth is blessed in the God, Amen, and he who swears in the earth swears in the God, Amen, because the former distresses shall be forgotten and they shall be hidden from before me

17Because, behold, I am creating new Heavens and new Earth, and the former things shall not be remembered, and it shall not come upon the heart

18But they shall rejoice and they shall dance for an eternity of eternities, because I am creating, because, behold, I create Jerusalem dancing and I shall rejoice in it

19And I shall rejoice in Jerusalem and I shall dance in my people, and the sound of weeping shall not be heard in it again, or the sound of wailing

20And there shall not again be an infant of days or an old man who will not fulfill his days, because a boy shall die a son of a hundred years, and whoever sins as a son of a hundred years shall be cursed

21And they shall build households and they shall dwell and they shall plant vineyards and they shall eat their fruits

22They shall not build and others inhabit, and they shall not plant and others eat, because the days of my people are as the days of trees, and my chosen ones shall eat the work of their hands

23They shall not work for futility and they shall not give birth to a curse, because they are the blessed seed of LORD JEHOVAH, they and their children with them

24And while they shall not call, I shall answer them, and before they will speak I shall hear them 25The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox, and the snake his bread of dust, and they shall do no harm, nor shall they destroy in all the mountain of my holiness, says LORD JEHOVAH
