Isaiah 57:9-11
American Standard Version
9 And thou wentest to the king with oil, and didst increase thy perfumes, and didst send thine ambassadors far off, and didst debase thyself even unto Sheol. 10 Thou wast wearied with the length of thy way; yet saidst thou not, It is in vain: thou didst find [a]a quickening of thy strength; therefore thou wast not [b]faint.
11 And of whom hast thou been afraid and in fear, that thou liest, and hast not remembered me, nor laid it to thy heart? have not I held my peace even of long time, and thou fearest me not?

9 And thou wentest to the king with ointment, and didst increase thy perfumes, and didst send thy messengers far off, and didst debase thyself even unto hell.
10 Thou art wearied in the greatness of thy way; yet saidst thou not, There is no hope: thou hast found the life of thine hand; therefore thou wast not grieved.
11 And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that thou hast lied, and hast not remembered me, nor laid it to thy heart? have not I held my peace even of old, and thou fearest me not?

Isaiah 57:9-11
New King James Version
9 (A)You went to the king with ointment,
And increased your perfumes;
You sent your (B)messengers far off,
And even descended to Sheol.
10 You are wearied in the length of your way;
(C)Yet you did not say, ‘There is no hope.’
You have found the life of your hand;
Therefore you were not grieved.
11 “And (D)of whom have you been afraid, or feared,
That you have lied
And not remembered Me,
Nor taken it to your heart?
Is it not because (E)I have [a]held My peace from of old
That you do not fear Me?

Isaiah 57:9-11
English Standard Version
9 You journeyed to the king with oil
and multiplied your perfumes;
(A)you sent your envoys far off,
and sent down even to Sheol.
10 You were wearied with the length of your way,
(B)but you did not say, “It is hopeless”;
you found new life for your strength,
and so you were not faint.[a]
11 (C)Whom did you dread and fear,
(D)so that you lied,
and did not remember me,
did not lay it to heart?
(E)Have I not held my peace, even for a long time,
and you do not fear me?
