Isaiah 57:8-10
Christian Standard Bible
8 You have set up your memorial
behind the door and doorpost.
For away from me, you stripped,
went up, and made your bed wide,(A)
and you have made a bargain[a] for yourself with them.
You have loved their bed;
you have gazed on their genitals.[b][c]
9 You went to the king with oil
and multiplied your perfumes;
you sent your envoys far away(B)
and sent them down even to Sheol.
10 You became weary on your many journeys,
but you did not say, “It’s hopeless!” (C)
You found a renewal of your strength;[d]
therefore you did not grow weak.
Isaiah 57:8-10
New International Version
8 Behind your doors and your doorposts
you have put your pagan symbols.
Forsaking me, you uncovered your bed,
you climbed into it and opened it wide;
you made a pact with those whose beds you love,(A)
and you looked with lust on their naked bodies.(B)
9 You went to Molek[a](C) with olive oil
and increased your perfumes.(D)
You sent your ambassadors[b](E) far away;
you descended to the very realm of the dead!(F)
10 You wearied(G) yourself by such going about,
but you would not say, ‘It is hopeless.’(H)
You found renewal of your strength,(I)
and so you did not faint.
