9. You went to the king with ointment,And increased your perfumes;You sent your messengers far off,And even descended to Sheol.
10. You are wearied in the length of your way;Yet you did not say, ‘There is no hope.’You have found the life of your hand;Therefore you were not grieved.
11. “And of whom have you been afraid, or feared,That you have liedAnd not remembered Me,Nor taken it to your heart?Is it not because I have held My peace from of oldThat you do not fear Me?
12. I will declare your righteousnessAnd your works,For they will not profit you.
13. When you cry out,Let your collection of idols deliver you.But the wind will carry them all away,A breath will take them.But he who puts his trust in Me shall possess the land,And shall inherit My holy mountain.”
