Isaiah 57:10

Verse 10 of 21. The 57th of 66 chapters in Isaiah, in The Major Prophets.

6Among the smooth stones of the valley is your portion. They, they are your lot. You have even poured a drink offering to them. You have offered an offering. Shall I be appeased for these things?

7On a high and lofty mountain you have set your bed. You also went up there to offer sacrifice.

8You have set up your memorial behind the doors and the posts, for you have exposed yourself to someone besides me, and have gone up. You have enlarged your bed and made a covenant for yourself with them. You loved what you saw on their bed.

9You went to the king with oil, increased your perfumes, sent your ambassadors far off, and degraded yourself even to Sheol.

10You were wearied with the length of your ways; yet you didn’t say, ‘It is in vain.’ You found a reviving of your strength; therefore you weren’t faint.

11“Whom have you dreaded and feared, so that you lie, and have not remembered me, nor laid it to your heart? Haven’t I held my peace for a long time, and you don’t fear me?

12I will declare your righteousness; and as for your works, they will not benefit you.

13When you cry, let those whom you have gathered deliver you, but the wind will take them. A breath will carry them all away, but he who takes refuge in me will possess the land, and will inherit my holy mountain.”

14He will say, “Build up, build up, prepare the way! Remove the stumbling-block out of the way of my people.”
