Isaiah 57:9-11

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁹ You traveled to deliver offerings of fragrant oil to the king,^[a]
and you made many offerings of incense.
You sent your messengers to a distant land.
You sent them as far as hell.^[b]
10 Because of the length of your journey, you became weary,
but you did not say, “It is hopeless!”
So you found new strength, and you did not faint.
¹¹ But who is making you so anxious and so afraid that you
    practice deception?
You did not remember me
and did not keep me in your heart.
Is it because I have been silent for a long time
    that you do not fear me?
