8 You’ve set up your idols beside doors and doorposts.You’ve uncovered yourself to the idols.You’ve distanced yourself from me.You’ve made your bed with them.You’ve made a deal with those you have pleasure with in bed.You’ve seen them naked.
9 You’ve journeyed to the king with perfumed oilsand put on plenty of perfume.You’ve sent your ambassadors far awayand sent them down to Sheol.
10 You’ve tired yourself out with many journeys.You didn’t think that it was hopeless.You’ve found renewed strength,so you didn’t faint.
11 Whom did you dread and fear so much that you lied to me?You haven’t remembered me or cared about me.I’ve been silent for a long time.Is that why you don’t fear me?
12 I’ll tell you about your righteous ways and what you have done,but they won’t help you.
13 When you cry for help,let your collection of idols save you.A wind will carry them all away.A breath will take them away.But whoever trusts me will possess the landand inherit my holy mountain.
14 It will be said:“Build a road! Build a road!Prepare the way!Remove every obstacle in the way of my people!”
