Isaiah 57:9-11

Lexham English Bible

⁹ And you climbed down to the king with oil,
    and you made your perfumes numerous,
and you sent your envoys far away,^[a]
    and you sent down deep^[b] to Sheol.
¹⁰ You grow weary by the greatness of your way,
    but you did not say, ‘Despairing!’
You found the renewal^[c] of your strength,^[d]
    therefore you do not grow weak.
¹¹ And of whom were you afraid and feared, that you deceived
    and did not remember me?
    Did you not place it on your heart?
Have I not been silent, even from long ago,
    and so you do not fear me?
