New Living Translation

Isaiah 57:9-13 New Living Translation (NLT)

9. You have gone to Molechwith olive oil and many perfumes,sending your agents far and wide,even to the world of the dead.

10. You grew weary in your search,but you never gave up.Desire gave you renewed strength,and you did not grow weary.

11. “Are you afraid of these idols?Do they terrify you?Is that why you have lied to meand forgotten me and my words?Is it because of my long silencethat you no longer fear me?

12. Now I will expose your so-called good deeds.None of them will help you.

13. Let’s see if your idols can save youwhen you cry to them for help.Why, a puff of wind can knock them down!If you just breathe on them, they fall over!But whoever trusts in me will inherit the landand possess my holy mountain.”
