Isaiah 57:9 · American Standard Version

Isaiah 57:9 in context

  1. 7On a high and lofty mountain you have set your bed.
    You also went up there to offer sacrifice.
  2. 8You have set up your memorial behind the doors and the posts,
    for you have exposed yourself to someone besides me,
    and have gone up.
    You have enlarged your bed
    and made you a covenant with them.
    You loved what you saw on their bed.
  3. 9You went to the king with oil,
    increased your perfumes,
    sent your ambassadors far off,
    and degraded yourself even to Sheol.
  4. 10You were wearied with the length of your ways;
    yet you didn’t say, ‘It is in vain.’
    You found a reviving of your strength;
    therefore you weren’t faint.
  5. 11“Whom have you dreaded and feared,
    so that you lie,
    and have not remembered me, nor laid it to your heart?
    Haven’t I held my peace for a long time,
    and you don’t fear me?
