Isaiah 57:3-13
3“But comeH7126 hereH2008, you sonsH1121 of a 1sorceressH6049, 2OffspringH2233 of an adultererH5003 and 3a 4prostituteH2181!4OfH5921 whomH4310 do you makeH6026 funH6026? AgainstH5921 whomH4310 do you openH7337 wideH7337 your mouthH6310 And stickH748 outH748 your tongueH3956? Are you not childrenH3206 of 5rebellionH6588, OffspringH2233 of deceitH8267,5Who inflameH2552 yourselves among the 6oaksH352, 7UnderH8478 everyH3605 luxuriantH7488 treeH6086, Who 8slaughterH7819 the childrenH3206 in the 9ravinesH5158, UnderH8478 the cleftsH5585 of the rocksH5553?6Among the 1011smoothH2509 stones of the 12ravineH5158 Is your portionH2506, 13they are your lotH1486; EvenH1571 to them you have 14pouredH8210 outH8210 a drinkH5262 offeringH5262, You have madeH5927 a grain offeringH4503. Should I 1516relentH5162 of theseH428 thingsH428?7On a 17highH1364 and loftyH5375 mountainH2022 You have 18madeH7760 your bedH4904. You alsoH1571 wentH5927 upH5927 thereH8033 to offerH2076 sacrificeH2077.8BehindH310 the doorH1817 and the doorpostH4201 You have setH7760 upH7760 your signH2146; IndeedH3588, far removedH4480 from Me, you have 19uncoveredH1540 yourself, And have goneH5927 upH5927 and madeH7337 your bedH4904 wideH7337. And you have madeH3772 an agreement for yourself with them, You have lovedH157 their bedH4904, You have lookedH2372 at their 20manhoodH3027.9You have journeyedH7788 to the kingH4428 with oilH8081 And increasedH7235 your perfumesH7547; You have 21sentH7971 your messengersH6735 a great distanceH7350 And madeH8213 them goH8213 downH8213 to 22SheolH7585.10You were tiredH3021 outH3021 by the lengthH7230 of your roadH1870, Yet you did not sayH559, ‘23It is hopelessH2976!’ You foundH4672 24renewedH2416 strengthH3027, ThereforeH5921H3651 you did not 25faintH2470.
11“Of 26whomH4310 wereH1672 you worriedH1672 and fearfulH3372 WhenH3588 you liedH3576, and did 27not rememberH2142 Me 28NorH3808 29giveH7760 Me a thoughtH3820? Was I not silentH2814, even for a longH5769 timeH5769, So you do not fearH3372 Me?12I will 30declareH5046 your righteousnessH6666 and your 31deedsH4639, And they will not benefitH3276 you.13When you cryH2199 outH2199, 32let your collectionH6899 of idols saveH5337 you. But the windH7307 will carryH5375 them allH3605 upH5375, And a breathH1892 will takeH3947 them away. But the one who 33takesH2620 refugeH2620 in Me will 34inheritH5157 the landH776 And 35possessH3423 My holyH6944 mountainH2022.”
