Today’s Daily Devotions: I Revealed Myself To Those Who Did Not Ask For Me; I Was Found By Those Who Did Not Seek Me

Isaiah 65

Judgment and Salvation

1 “I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me; I was found by those who did not seek me. To a nation that did not call on my name, I said, ‘Here am I, here am I.’

2 All day long I have held out my hands to an obstinate people,
who walk in ways not good, pursuing their own imaginations—

3 a people who continually provoke me
to my very face,
offering sacrifices in gardens and burning incense on altars of brick;

4 who sit among the graves and spend their nights keeping secret vigil; who eat the flesh of pigs, and whose pots hold broth of impure meat;

5 who say, ‘Keep away; don’t come near me,
for I am too sacred for you!’ Such people are smoke in my nostrils,
a fire that keeps burning all day.

6 “See, it stands written before me: I will not keep silent but will pay back in full; I will pay it back into their laps—

7 both your sins and the sins of your ancestors,”
says the Lord.
“Because they burned sacrifices on the mountains and defied me on the hills,
I will measure into their laps the full payment for their former deeds.”
