Isaiah 65:1-2

New International Reader's Version

65 The Lord says, “I made myself known to those who were not asking for me.
    I was found by those who were not trying to find me.
I spoke to a nation that did not pray to me.
    ‘Here I am,’ I said. ‘Here I am.’
² All day long I have held out my hands
    to welcome a stubborn nation.
They lead sinful lives.
    They go where their evil thoughts take them.
