Isaiah 57:8-13 Common English Bible (CEB)

8. Behind the door and the doorpostyou placed your symbols.You abandoned me and lay down,making room in your bedand making deals for yourself with them.You loved their bed;you saw their nakedness.

9. You went down to Molech with oil,and you slathered on your ointments;you sent your messengers far away,sent them down to the underworld.

10. Worn out by all your efforts,yet you wouldn’t say, "This is useless."You found new strength;therefore, you weren’t tired.

11. Whom did you dread and fear so that you lied,didn’t remember me or give me a thought?Isn’t it because I was silent and closed my eyesthat you stopped fearing me?

12. I will bring evidence about your righteousness and your actions;they won’t help you.

13. When you cry out,let those things you’ve gathered save you!The wind will lift them all;one breath will take them away.but those taking refuge in me will inherit the land and possess my holy mountain.
