Isaiah 57:5-11

5InflamingH2552 yourselves with idolsH410 under every greenH7488 treeH6086, slayingH7819 the childrenH3206 in the valleysH5158 under the cleftsH5585 of the rocksH5553?1 6Among the smoothH2511 stones of the streamH5158 is thy portionH2506; they, they are thy lotH1486: even to them hast thou pouredH8210 a drink offeringH5262, thou hast offeredH5927 a meat offeringH4503. Should I receive comfortH5162 in these? 7Upon a loftyH1364 and highH5375 mountainH2022 hast thou setH7760 thy bedH4904: even there thou wentest upH5927 to offerH2076 sacrificeH2077. 8BehindH310 the doorsH1817 also and the door postsH4201 hast thou set upH7760 thy remembranceH2146: for thou hast uncoveredH1540 thyself to another than me, and hast gone upH5927; thou hast enlargedH7337 thy bedH4904, and madeH3772 thee a covenant with them; thou didst loveH157 their bedH4904 whereH3027 thou sawestH2372 it .23 9And thou wentestH7788 to the kingH4428 with ointmentH8081, and didst increaseH7235 thy perfumesH7547, and didst sendH7971 thy messengersH6735 far offH7350, and didst debaseH8213 thyself even to hellH7585.4 10Thou art weariedH3021 in the greatnessH7230 of thy wayH1870; yet saidstH559 thou not, There is no hopeH2976: thou hast foundH4672 the lifeH2416 of thy handH3027; therefore thou wast not grievedH2470.5 11And of whom hast thou been afraidH1672 or fearedH3372, that thou hast liedH3576, and hast not rememberedH2142 me, nor laidH7760 it to thy heartH3820? have not I held my peaceH2814 even of oldH5769, and thou fearestH3372 me not?
