8 You have set up your memorial behind the doors and the posts;for you have exposed yourself to someone besides me,and have gone up;you have enlarged your bed,and made you a covenant with them.You loved what you saw on their bed.
9 You went to the king with oil,and increased your perfumes,and sent your ambassadors far off,and degraded yourself even to Sheol.
10 You were wearied with the length of your ways;yet you didn’t say, ‘It is in vain.’You found a reviving of your strength;therefore you weren’t faint.
11 “Whom have you dreaded and feared,so that you lie,and have not remembered me, nor laid it to your heart?Haven’t I held my peace for a long time,and you don’t fear me?
12 I will declare your righteousness;and as for your works, they will not benefit you.
13 When you cry,let those whom you have gathered deliver you;but the wind will take them.a breath will carry them all away:but he who takes refuge in me will possess the land,and will inherit my holy mountain.”
14 He will say, “Build up, build up, prepare the way!Remove the stumbling-block out of the way of my people.”
