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?
