Isaiah 57:8-12 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

8. You hide the things that help you remember me behind the doors and doorframes. You were with me, but you got up to go to them. You spread out your bed and gave yourself to them. You love their beds and enjoy looking at their naked bodies.

9. You use your oils and perfumes to look nice for Molech. You sent your messengers to faraway lands, and this will bring you down to the place of death.

10. All of them made you tired, but you never gave up. You found new strength, because you enjoyed them.

11. You did not remember me. You did not even notice me! So who were you worrying about? Who were you afraid of? Why did you lie? Look, I have been quiet for a long time. Is that why you didn’t honor me?

12. I could tell about your ‘good works’ and all the ‘religious’ things you do, but that will not help you.
