Isaiah 57:5-11
5Who inflameH2552 yourselves among the 12oaksH352, 3UnderH8478 everyH3605 luxuriantH7488 treeH6086, Who 4slaughterH7819 the childrenH3206 in the 5ravinesH5158, UnderH8478 the cleftsH5585 of the cragsH5553?6Among the 67smoothH2509 stones of the 8ravineH5158 Is your portionH2506, 9they are your lotH1486; EvenH1571 to them you have 10pouredH8210 out a drinkH5262 offeringH5262, You have madeH5927 a grain offeringH4503. Shall I 1112relentH5162 concerningH5921 theseH428 thingsH428?7Upon a 13highH1364 and loftyH5375 mountainH2022 You have 14madeH7760 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 15uncoveredH1540 yourself, And have goneH5927 up and madeH7337 your bedH4904 wideH7337. And you have madeH3772 an agreement for yourself with them, You have lovedH157 their 16bedH4904, You have lookedH2372 on their 17manhoodH3027.9You have journeyedH7788 to the kingH4428 with oilH8081 And increasedH7235 your perfumesH7547; You have 18sentH7971 your envoysH6735 a great distanceH7350 And made them goH8213 downH8213 to 19SheolH7585.10You were tiredH3021 out by the lengthH7230 of your roadH1870, Yet you did not sayH559, ‘20It is hopelessH2976.’ You foundH4672 21renewedH2416 strengthH3027, ThereforeH5921H3651 you did not 22faintH2470.
11“Of 23whomH4310 were you worriedH1672 and fearfulH3372 WhenH3588 you liedH3576, and did 24not rememberH2142 Me 25NorH3808 26giveH7760 Me a thoughtH3820? Was I not silentH2814 even for a longH5769 timeH5769 So you do not fearH3372 Me?
