¹⁶ Hijo de hombre, he aquí que yo te quito por muerte el deseo de tus ojos; no endeches, ni llores, ni corran tus lágrimas.

¹ "I am inquired of by those who didn't ask; I am found by those who didn't seek me: I said, See me, see me, to a nation that was not called by my name.

² I have spread out my hands all the day to a rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts;

³ a people who provoke me to my face continually, sacrificing in gardens, and burning incense on bricks;

⁴ who sit among the graves, and lodge in the secret places; who eat pig's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;

⁵ who say, Stand by yourself, don't come near to me, for I am holier than you. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burns all the day.
