8 Behind the door and the doorpostyou set up your symbol.Yes, deserting me, you carried up your bedding;and spread it wide.You entered an agreement with them,you loved their couch, you gazed upon nakedness.
9 You approached the king with oil,and multiplied your perfumes;You sent your ambassadors far away,down even to deepest Sheol.
10 Though worn out with the length of your journey,you never said, “It is hopeless”;You found your strength revived,and so you did not weaken.
11 Whom did you dread and fear,that you told lies,And me you did not remembernor take to heart?Am I to keep silent and conceal,while you show no fear of me?
12 I will proclaim your justiceand your works;but they shall not help you.
13 When you cry out,let your collection of idols save you.All these the wind shall carry off,a mere breath shall bear them away;But whoever takes refuge in me shall inherit the land,and possess my holy mountain.
14 And I say:Build up, build up, prepare the way,remove every obstacle from my people’s way.
