Isaiah 65:1-3

EasyEnglish Bible

‘I was ready to answer,
    even when my people did not ask me anything.
I showed myself to people
    who were not even looking for me.
I said, “Look! Here I am!” to a nation
    who did not even use my name to pray.
² All the time, I have been ready to help my people,
    even though they turned against me.
But they continue to live in a way that is not good.
    They do whatever they want to do.
³ They continue to make me angry,
    as they insult me without shame.
They offer sacrifices to their idols in their gardens.
They burn incense to them
    on altars that are made from bricks.
