נִדְרַ֙שְׁתִּי֙ לְל֣וֹא שָׁאָ֔לוּ נִמְצֵ֖אתִי לְלֹ֣א בִקְשֻׁ֑נִי אָמַ֙רְתִּי֙ הִנֵּ֣נִי הִנֵּ֔נִי אֶל־גּ֖וֹי לֹֽא־קֹרָ֥א בִשְׁמִֽי׃
Handa Akong sumagot sa mga hindi nagtanong sa Akin; handa Akong matagpuan ng mga hindi humanap sa Akin. Sinabi Ko, “Narito Ako, narito Ako,” sa isang bansang hindi tinatawag sa Aking pangalan.
Rashi

Ibn Ezra
I was1A. V., I am sought. sought, etc. This is the reply of God to the prayer of the Israelites; He says: Your fathers have provoked me, but ‘ I was sought,’ that is, I offered myself to be found whenever they were in trouble, to them that asked me not, that I should be accessible to them.
Rashi
I said, “Here I am; here I am!” Return to Me, and I am ready to accept you.
