Isaiah 57:9-11

Contemporary English Version

⁹ You smear on olive oil
and all kinds of perfume
    to worship the god Molech.^[a]
You even seek advice
    from spirits of the dead.
¹⁰ Though you tired yourself out
by running after idols,
    you refused to stop.
Your desires were so strong
    that they kept you going.

¹¹ Did you forget about me
    and become unfaithful
because you were more afraid
    of someone else?
Have I been silent so long^[b]
    that you no longer fear me?
