Isaiah:57:6-14
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Among the smooth stones of the stream is thy portion ;
they ,
they are thy lot :
even to them hast thou poured a drink offering ,
thou hast offered a meat offering .
Should I receive comfort in these ?
*
Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed :
even thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice .
*
Behind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up thy remembrance :
for thou hast discovered thyself to another than me ,
and art gone up ;
thou hast enlarged thy bed ,
and made thee a covenant with them ;
thou lovedst their bed where thou sawest it .
*
And thou wentest to the king with ointment ,
and didst increase thy perfumes ,
and didst send thy messengers far off ,
and didst debase thyself even unto hell .
*
Thou art wearied in the greatness of thy way ;
yet saidst thou not ,
There is no hope :
thou hast found the life of thine hand ;
therefore thou wast not grieved .
*
And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared ,
that thou hast lied ,
and hast not remembered me ,
nor laid it to thy heart ?
have not I held my peace even of old ,
and thou fearest me not ?
*
I will declare thy righteousness ,
and thy works ;
for they shall not profit thee .
*
When thou criest ,
let thy companies deliver thee ;
but the wind shall carry them all away ;
vanity shall take them :
but he that putteth his trust in me shall possess the land ,
and shall inherit my holy mountain ;
*
And shall say ,
Cast ye up ,
cast ye up ,
prepare the way ,
take up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people .
