And increased your [b]perfumes;
You have sent your messengers a great distance
And made them go down to Sheol (the realm of the dead).

Yet you did not say, ‘It is no use.’
You found [c]renewed strength,
Therefore you did not grow weak.

That you lied and did not [d]remember Me,
Nor [e]give Me a thought?
Was I not silent even for a long time
And [as a result] you do not fear Me?
