Dual Panel1"I permitted Myself to be sought<1875> by those who did not ask<7592> for Me; I permitted Myself to be found<4672> by those who did not seek<1245> Me. I said<559>, 'Here<2009> am I, here<2009> am I,' To a nation<1471> which did not call<7121> on My name<8034>.
2"I have spread<6566> out My hands<3027> all<3605> day<3117> long to a rebellious<5637> people<5971>, Who walk<1980> in the way<1870> which is not good<2896>, following<310> their own thoughts<4284>,
3A people<5971> who continually<8548> provoke<3707> Me to My face<6440>, Offering<2076> sacrifices<2076> in gardens<1593> and burning<6999> incense<6999> on bricks<3843>;
4Who sit<3427> among graves<6913> and spend<3885> the night<3885> in secret<5341> places<5341>; Who eat<398> swine's<2386> flesh<1320>, And the broth<4839> of unclean<6292> meat<6292> is in their pots<3627>.
5"Who say<559>, 'Keep<7126> to yourself, do not come<5066> near<5066> me, For I am holier<6942> than you!' These<428> are smoke<6227> in My nostrils<639>, A fire<784> that burns<3344> all<3605> the day<3117>.
6"Behold<2009>, it is written<3789> before<6440> Me, I will not keep<2814> silent<2814>, but I will repay<7999>; I will even repay<7999> into their bosom<2436>,
7Both their own iniquities<5771> and the iniquities<5771> of their fathers<1> together<3164>," says<559> the LORD<3068>. "Because<834> they have burned<6999> incense<6999> on the mountains<2022> And scorned<2778> Me on the hills<1389>, Therefore I will measure<4058> their former<7223> work<6468> into their bosom<2436>."
8Thus<3541> says<559> the LORD<3068>, "As the new<8492> wine<8492> is found<4672> in the cluster<811>, And one says<559>, 'Do not destroy<7843> it, for there is benefit<1293> in it,' So<3651> I will act<6213> on behalf<4616> of My servants<5650> In order not to destroy<7843> all<3605> of them.
9"I will bring<3318> forth<3318> offspring<2233> from Jacob<3290>, And an heir<3423> of My mountains<2022> from Judah<3063>; Even My chosen<972> ones<972> shall inherit<3423> it, And My servants<5650> will dwell<7931> there<8033>.
10"Sharon<8289> will be a pasture<5116> land<5116> for flocks<6629>, And the valley<6010> of Achor<5911> a resting<7258> place<7258> for herds<1241>, For My people<5971> who<834> seek<1875> Me.
11"But you who forsake<5800> the LORD<3068>, Who<7913> forget<7913> My holy<6944> mountain<2022>, Who<7913> set<6186> a table<7979> for Fortune<1409>, And who fill<4390> cups with mixed<4469> wine<4469> for Destiny<4507>,
12I will destine<4487> you for the sword<2719>, And all<3605> of you will bow<3766> down<3766> to the slaughter<2874>. Because<3282> I called<7121>, but you did not answer<6030>; I spoke<1696>, but you did not hear<8085>. And you did<6213> evil<7451> in My sight<5869> And chose<977> that in which<834> I did not delight<2654>."
13Therefore<3651>, thus<3541> says<559> the Lord<136> GOD<3068>, "Behold<2009>, My servants<5650> will eat<398>, but you will be hungry<7456>. Behold<2009>, My servants<5650> will drink<8354>, but you will be thirsty<6770>. Behold<2009>, My servants<5650> will rejoice<8055>, but you will be put<954> to shame<954>.
14"Behold<2009>, My servants<5650> will shout<7442> joyfully<7442> with a glad<2898> heart<3820>, But you will cry<6817> out with a heavy<3511> heart<3820>, And you will wail<3213> with a broken<7665> spirit<7307>.
15"You will leave<5117> your name<8034> for a curse<7621> to My chosen<972> ones<972>, And the Lord<136> GOD<3068> will slay<4191> you. But My servants<5650> will be called<7121> by another<312> name<8034>.
16"Because<834> he who is blessed<1288> in the earth<776> Will be blessed<1288> by the God<430> of truth<543>; And he who swears<7650> in the earth<776> Will swear<7650> by the God<430> of truth<543>; Because<3588> the former<7223> troubles<6869> are forgotten<7911>, And because<3588> they are hidden<5641> from My sight<5869>!
17"For behold<2009>, I create<1254> new<2319> heavens<8064> and a new<2319> earth<776>; And the former<7223> things<7223> will not be remembered<2142> or come<5927> to mind<3820>.
18"But be glad<7797> and rejoice<1523> forever<5703> in what<834> I create<1254>; For behold<2009>, I create<1254> Jerusalem<3389> for rejoicing<1525> And her people<5971> for gladness<4885>.
19"I will also rejoice<1523> in Jerusalem<3389> and be glad<7797> in My people<5971>; And there will no<3808> longer<5750> be heard<8085> in her The voice<6963> of weeping<1065> and the sound<6963> of crying<2201>.
20"No<3808> longer<5750> will there be in it an infant<5764> who lives but a few days<3117>, Or an old<2205> man<2205> who<834> does not live<4390> out his days<3117>; For the youth<5288> will die<4191> at the age<1121> of one hundred<3967> And the one who does not reach<2398> the age<1121> of one hundred<3967> Will be thought accursed<7043>.
21"They will build<1129> houses<1004> and inhabit<3427> them; They will also plant<5193> vineyards<3754> and eat<398> their fruit<6529>.
22"They will not build<1129> and another<312> inhabit<3427>, They will not plant<5193> and another<312> eat<398>; For as the lifetime<3117> of a tree<6086>, so will be the days<3117> of My people<5971>, And My chosen<972> ones<972> will wear<1086> out the work<4639> of their hands<3027>.
23"They will not labor<3021> in vain<7385>, Or bear<3205> children for calamity<928>; For they are the offspring<2233> of those blessed<1288> by the LORD<3068>, And their descendants<6631> with them.
24"It will also come<1961> to pass<1961> that before<2962> they call<7121>, I will answer<6030>; and while they are still<5750> speaking<1696>, I will hear<8085>.
25"The wolf<2061> and the lamb<2924> will graze<7462> together<259>, and the lion<743> will eat<398> straw<8401> like the ox<1241>; and dust<6083> will be the serpent's<5175> food<3899>. They will do<7489> no<3808> evil<7489> or harm<7843> in all<3605> My holy<6944> mountain<2022>," says<559> the LORD<3068>.
