Isaiah 57:3-13
3“But comeH7126 hereH2008, you sonsH1121 of a 1sorceressH6049, 2OffspringH2233 of an adultererH5003 and 3a 4prostituteH2181.4AgainstH5921 whomH4310 do you jestH6026? AgainstH5921 whomH4310 do you openH7337 wideH7337 your mouthH6310 And stickH748 out your tongueH3956? Are you not childrenH3206 of 5rebellionH6588, OffspringH2233 of deceitH8267,5Who inflameH2552 yourselves among the 67oaksH352, 8UnderH8478 everyH3605 luxuriantH7488 treeH6086, Who 9slaughterH7819 the childrenH3206 in the 10ravinesH5158, UnderH8478 the cleftsH5585 of the cragsH5553?6Among the 1112smoothH2509 stones of the 13ravineH5158 Is your portionH2506, 14they are your lotH1486; EvenH1571 to them you have 15pouredH8210 out a drinkH5262 offeringH5262, You have madeH5927 a grain offeringH4503. Shall I 1617relentH5162 concerningH5921 theseH428 thingsH428?7Upon a 18highH1364 and loftyH5375 mountainH2022 You have 19madeH7760 your bedH4904. You alsoH1571 wentH5927 up thereH8033 to offerH2076 sacrificeH2077.8BehindH310 the doorH1817 and the doorpostH4201 You have setH7760 up your signH2146; IndeedH3588, far removedH4480 from Me, you have 20uncoveredH1540 yourself, And have goneH5927 up and madeH7337 your bedH4904 wideH7337. And you have madeH3772 an agreement for yourself with them, You have lovedH157 their 21bedH4904, You have lookedH2372 on their 22manhoodH3027.9You have journeyedH7788 to the kingH4428 with oilH8081 And increasedH7235 your perfumesH7547; You have 23sentH7971 your envoysH6735 a great distanceH7350 And made them goH8213 downH8213 to 24SheolH7585.10You were tiredH3021 out by the lengthH7230 of your roadH1870, Yet you did not sayH559, ‘25It is hopelessH2976.’ You foundH4672 26renewedH2416 strengthH3027, ThereforeH5921H3651 you did not 27faintH2470.
11“Of 28whomH4310 were you worriedH1672 and fearfulH3372 WhenH3588 you liedH3576, and did 29not rememberH2142 Me 30NorH3808 31giveH7760 Me a thoughtH3820? Was I not silentH2814 even for a longH5769 timeH5769 So you do not fearH3372 Me?12I will 32declareH5046 your righteousnessH6666 and your 33deedsH4639, But they will not profitH3276 you.13When you cryH2199 out, 34let your collectionH6899 of idols deliverH5337 you. But the windH7307 will carryH5375 allH3605 of them up, And a breathH1892 will takeH3947 them away. But he who 35takesH2620 refugeH2620 in Me will 36inheritH5157 the landH776 And will 37possessH3423 My holyH6944 mountainH2022.”
