Isaiah 57:9-11

Christian Standard Bible

⁹ You went to the king with oil
and multiplied your perfumes;
you sent your envoys far away^(A)
and sent them down even to Sheol.
¹⁰ You became weary on your many journeys,
but you did not say, “It’s hopeless!” ^(B)
You found a renewal of your strength;^[a]
therefore you did not grow weak.
¹¹ Who was it you dreaded and feared,
so that you lied and didn’t remember me
or take it to heart?
I have kept silent for a long time, haven’t I?^[b](C)
So you do not fear me.
