9 You went down to Molech with oil,and you slathered on your ointments;you sent your messengers far away,sent them down to the underworld.
10 Worn out by all your efforts,yet you wouldn’t say, "This is useless."You found new strength;therefore, you weren’t tired.
11 Whom did you dread and fear so that you lied,didn’t remember me or give me a thought?Isn’t it because I was silent and closed my eyesthat you stopped fearing me?
12 I will bring evidence about your righteousness and your actions;they won’t help you.
13 When you cry out,let those things you’ve gathered save you!The wind will lift them all;one breath will take them away.but those taking refuge in me will inherit the land and possess my holy mountain.
14 It will be said: "Survey, survey; build a road!Remove barriers from my people’s road!"
15 The one who is high and lifted up,who lives forever, whose name is holy, says:I live on high, in holiness,and also with the crushed and the lowly,reviving the spirit of the lowly,reviving the heart of those who have been crushed.
