1I am sought of them that asked not for me:
2I have spread out mine hands all the day unto a rebellious people,
3A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face;
4Which remain among the graves,
5Which say, Stand by thyself,
6Behold, it is written before me:
7Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the Lord,
8Thus saith the Lord,
9And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob,
10And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks,
11But ye are they that forsake the Lord,
12Therefore will I number you to the sword,
13Therefore thus saith the Lord God,
14Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart,
15And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen:
16That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth;
17For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth:
18But be you glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create:
19And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people:
20There shall be no more thence an infant of days,
21And they shall build houses, and inhabit them;
22They shall not build, and another inhabit;
23They shall not labour in vain,
24And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer;
25The wolf and the lamb shall feed together,
