Isaiah 57:9-11
Darby Translation
9 And thou wentest to the king with ointment, and didst multiply thy perfumes, and didst send thy messengers afar off, and didst debase thyself unto Sheol.
10 Thou wast wearied by the multitude of thy ways; [but] thou saidst not, It is of no avail. Thou didst find a quickening of thy strength; therefore thou wast not sick [of it].
11 And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that thou hast lied, and hast not remembered me, nor taken it to heart? Have not I even of long time held my peace, and thou fearest me not?

Isaiah 57:9-11
New International Version
9 You went to Molek[a](A) with olive oil
and increased your perfumes.(B)
You sent your ambassadors[b](C) far away;
you descended to the very realm of the dead!(D)
10 You wearied(E) yourself by such going about,
but you would not say, ‘It is hopeless.’(F)
You found renewal of your strength,(G)
and so you did not faint.
