I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name.

The verse 1 is found in chapter 65 of Isaiah. God responds by showing that he was found by those who did not seek him, while Israel persisted in rebellion. Judgment against idolatry is contrasted with the preservation of God’s servants. Then comes the vision of new heavens and a new earth, where premature death, injustice, and suffering are radically transformed and creation is characterized by peace.

Ich werde gesucht von denen, die nicht nach mir fragten; ich werde gefunden von denen, die mich nicht suchten; und zu den Heiden, die meinen Namen nicht anriefen, sage ich: Hier bin ich, hier bin ich!
Fui buscado de los que no preguntaban por mí; fui hallado de los que no me buscaban. Dije a gente que no invocaba mi nombre: Heme aquí, heme aquí.
«Me dejé buscar por los que no preguntaban por mí; me dejé hallar por los que no me buscaban. Dije: “Aquí estoy, aquí estoy”, a una nación que no llevaba mi nombre.
J'ai exaucé ceux qui ne demandaient rien, Je me suis laissé trouver par ceux qui ne me cherchaient pas; J'ai dit: Me voici, me voici! A une nation qui ne s'appelait pas de mon nom.
IO sono stato ricercato da quelli che non domandavano di me, io sono stato trovato da quelli che non mi cercavano; io ho detto alla gente che non si chiamava del mio Nome: Eccomi, eccomi.
FUI buscado dos que não perguntavam por mim, fui achado daqueles que não me buscavam; a uma nação que não se chamava do meu nome eu disse: Eis-me aqui. Eis-me aqui.
沒有求問我的,我要讓他們找到; 沒有尋找我的,我要讓他們尋見; 我對沒有呼求我名的國 說: 「我在這裏!我在這裏!」
