Isaiah 57:6-13

New International Version

⁶ The idols^(A) among the smooth stones of the ravines are your portion;
    indeed, they are your lot.
Yes, to them you have poured out drink offerings^(B)
    and offered grain offerings.
    In view of all this, should I relent?^(C)
7 You have made your bed on a high and lofty hill;^(D)
    there you went up to offer your sacrifices.^(E)
8 Behind your doors and your doorposts
    you have put your pagan symbols.
Forsaking me, you uncovered your bed,
    you climbed into it and opened it wide;
you made a pact with those whose beds you love,^(F)
    and you looked with lust on their naked bodies.^(G)
9 You went to Molek^[a](H) with olive oil
    and increased your perfumes.^(I)
You sent your ambassadors^[b](J) far away;
    you descended to the very realm of the dead!^(K)
10 You wearied^(L) yourself by such going about,
    but you would not say, ‘It is hopeless.’^(M)
You found renewal of your strength,^(N)
    and so you did not faint.

¹¹ “Whom have you so dreaded and feared^(O)
    that you have not been true to me,
and have neither remembered^(P) me
    nor taken this to heart?^(Q)
Is it not because I have long been silent^(R)
    that you do not fear me?
¹² I will expose your righteousness and your works,^(S)
    and they will not benefit you.
¹³ When you cry out^(T) for help,
    let your collection of idols save^(U) you!
The wind will carry all of them off,
    a mere breath will blow^(V) them away.
But whoever takes refuge^(W) in me
    will inherit the land^(X)
    and possess my holy mountain.”^(Y)
