¹ I have been ready to give an answer to those who did not make prayer to me; I have been offering myself to those who were not searching for me; I said, Here am I, here am I, to a nation which gave no respect to my name.

²⁰ And Isaiah says without fear, Those who were not searching for me made discovery of me; and I was seen by those whose hearts were turned away from me.

¹² That you were at that time without Christ, being cut off from any part in Israel's rights as a nation, having no part in God's agreement, having no hope, and without God in the world.

¹³ But now in Christ Jesus you who at one time were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.

²⁴ Even us, who were marked out by him, not only from the Jews, but from the Gentiles?

²⁵ As he says in Hosea, They will be named my people who were not my people, and she will be loved who was not loved.

²⁶ And in the place where it was said to them, You are not my people, there they will be named the sons of the living God.

¹⁰ But still the number of the children of Israel will be like the sand of the sea, which may not be measured or numbered; and in place of its being said to them, You are not my people, it will be said to them, You are the sons of the living God

¹⁹ We have become as those who were never ruled by you, on whom your name was not named.

² And it will come about in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord will be placed on the top of the mountains, and be lifted up over the hills; and all nations will come to it.

³ And the peoples will say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob: and he will give us knowledge of his ways, and we will be guided by his word; for out of Zion the law will go out, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

¹⁰ In the past you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; then there was no mercy for you, but now mercy has been given to you.

³⁰ What then may we say? That the nations who did not go after righteousness have got righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith:

²⁹ The day after, John sees Jesus coming to him and says, See, here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

²² And great peoples and strong nations will come to give worship to the Lord of armies in Jerusalem and to make requests for grace from the Lord.

²³ This is what the Lord of armies has said: In those days, ten men from all the languages of the nations will put out their hands and take a grip of the skirt of him who is a Jew, saying, We will go with you, for it has come to our ears that God is with you.

¹¹ Ho! Zion, go in flight from danger, you who are living with the daughter of Babylon.

⁵ See, you will send for a nation of which you had no knowledge, and those who had no knowledge of you will come running to you, because of the Lord your God, and because of the Holy One of Israel, for he has given you glory.

²² Let your hearts be turned to me, so that you may have salvation, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is no other.

¹ But now, says the Lord your Maker, O Jacob, and your life-giver, O Israel: have no fear, for I have taken up your cause; naming you by your name, I have made you mine.

²⁷ I was the first to give word of it to Zion, and I gave the good news to Jerusalem.

⁹ You who give good news to Zion, get up into the high mountain; you who give good news to Jerusalem, let your voice be strong; let it be sounding without fear; say to the towns of Judah, See, your God!

¹⁰ And in that day, the eyes of the nations will be turned to the root of Jesse which will be lifted up as the flag of the peoples; and his resting-place will be glory.

²⁷ All the ends of the earth will keep it in mind and be turned to the Lord: all the families of the nations will give him worship.
