THE LORD’S RESPONSE

65 “I was sought by those who did not ask;

I was found by those who did not seek me.

I said, ‘Here I am, here I am,’

to a nation that did not call onA my name.b

2 I spread out my hands all day long

to a rebellious peoplec

who walk in the path that is not good,

following their own thoughts.

3 These people continually anger me

to my face,

sacrificing in gardens,d

burning incense on bricks,
