‘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.
