Isaiah 57:8-15
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 57
8
Behind the door and the doorpost
You have set up your sign;
Indeed, far removed from Me, you have uncovered yourself,
And have gone up and made your bed wide.
And you have made an agreement for yourself with them,
You have loved their bed,
You have looked at
their
manhood.
9
You have journeyed to the king with oil
And increased your perfumes;
You have sent your messengers a great distance
And made
them
go down to Sheol.
10
You were tired out by the length of your road,
Yet
you did not say, ‘It is hopeless!’
You found renewed strength,
Therefore you did not faint.
11
'Of whom were you worried and fearful
When you lied, and did not remember Me
Nor give
Me
a thought?
Was I not silent, even for a long time,
So you do not fear Me?
12
I will declare your righteousness and your deeds,
And they will not benefit you.
13
When you cry out, let your collection
of idols
save you.
But the wind will carry them all up,
And
a breath will take
them away.
But the one who takes refuge in Me will inherit the land
And possess My holy mountain.'
14
And it will be said,
'Build up, build up, prepare the way,
Remove
every
obstacle from the way of My people.'
15
For this is what the high and exalted One
Who lives forever, whose name is Holy, says:
'I dwell
in
a high and holy place,
And
also
with the contrite and lowly of spirit
In order to revive the spirit of the lowly
And to revive the heart of the contrite.
King James Version
Chapter 57
8
Behind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up thy remembrance: for thou hast discovered thyself to another than me, and art gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made thee a covenant with them; thou lovedst their bed where thou sawest it.
9
And thou wentest to the king with ointment, and didst increase thy perfumes, and didst send thy messengers far off, and didst debase thyself even unto hell.
10
Thou art wearied in the greatness of thy way; yet saidst thou not, There is no hope: thou hast found the life of thine hand; therefore thou wast not grieved.
11
And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that thou hast lied, and hast not remembered me, nor laid it to thy heart? have not I held my peace even of old, and thou fearest me not?
12
I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works; for they shall not profit thee.
13
When thou criest, let thy companies deliver thee; but the wind shall carry them all away; vanity shall take them: but he that putteth his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain;
14
And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people.
15
For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 57
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,
and you have made a bargain for yourself with them.
You have loved their bed;
you have gazed on their genitals.
9
You went to the king with oil
and multiplied your perfumes;
you sent your envoys far away
and sent them down even to Sheol.
10
You became weary on your many journeys,
but you did not say, "It’s hopeless!"
You found a renewal of your strength;
therefore you did not grow weak.
11
Who was it you dreaded and feared,
so that you lied and didn’t remember me
or take it to heart?
I have kept silent for a long time, haven’t I?
So you do not fear me.
12
I will announce your righteousness,
and your works—they will not profit you.
13
When you cry out,
let your collection of idols rescue you!
The wind will carry all of them off,
a breath will take them away.
But whoever takes refuge in me
will inherit the land
and possess my holy mountain.
14
He said,
"Build it up, build it up, prepare the way,
remove every obstacle from my people’s way."
15
For the High and Exalted One,
who lives forever, whose name is holy, says this:
"I live in a high and holy place,
and with the oppressed and lowly of spirit,
to revive the spirit of the lowly
and revive the heart of the oppressed.
New Living Translation
Chapter 57
8
You have put pagan symbols
on your doorposts and behind your doors.
You have left me
and climbed into bed with these detestable gods.
You have committed yourselves to them.
You love to look at their naked bodies.
9
You have gone to Molech
with olive oil and many perfumes,
sending your agents far and wide,
even to the world of the dead.
10
You grew weary in your search,
but you never gave up.
Desire gave you renewed strength,
and you did not grow weary.
11
'Are you afraid of these idols?
Do they terrify you?
Is that why you have lied to me
and forgotten me and my words?
Is it because of my long silence
that you no longer fear me?
12
Now I will expose your so-called good deeds.
None of them will help you.
13
Let’s see if your idols can save you
when you cry to them for help.
Why, a puff of wind can knock them down!
If you just breathe on them, they fall over!
But whoever trusts in me will inherit the land
and possess my holy mountain.'
14
God says, 'Rebuild the road!
Clear away the rocks and stones
so my people can return from captivity.'
15
The high and lofty one who lives in eternity,
the Holy One, says this:
'I live in the high and holy place
with those whose spirits are contrite and humble.
I restore the crushed spirit of the humble
and revive the courage of those with repentant hearts.
English Standard Version
Chapter 57
8
Behind the door and the doorpost
you have set up your memorial;
for, deserting me, you have uncovered your bed,
you have gone up to it,
you have made it wide;
and you have made a covenant for yourself with them,
you have loved their bed,
you have looked on nakedness.
9
You journeyed to the king with oil
and multiplied your perfumes;
you sent your envoys far off,
and sent down even to Sheol.
10
You were wearied with the length of your way,
but you did not say, "It is hopeless";
you found new life for your strength,
and so you were not faint.
11
Whom did you dread and fear,
so that you lied,
and did not remember me,
did not lay it to heart?
Have I not held my peace, even for a long time,
and you do not fear me?
12
I will declare your righteousness and your deeds,
but they will not profit you.
13
When you cry out, let your collection of idols deliver you!
The wind will carry them all off,
a breath will take them away.
But he who takes refuge in me shall possess the land
and shall inherit my holy mountain.
14
And it shall be said,
"Build up, build up, prepare the way,
remove every obstruction from my people 's way."
15
For thus says the One who is high and lifted up,
who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy:
"I dwell in the high and holy place,
and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit,
to revive the spirit of the lowly,
and to revive the heart of the contrite.
New International Version
Chapter 57
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,
and you looked with lust on their naked bodies.
9
You went to Molek with olive oil
and increased your perfumes.
You sent your ambassadors far away;
you descended to the very realm of the dead!
10
You wearied yourself by such going about,
but you would not say, ‘It is hopeless.’
You found renewal of your strength,
and so you did not faint.
11
"Whom have you so dreaded and feared
that you have not been true to me,
and have neither remembered me
nor taken this to heart?
Is it not because I have long been silent
that you do not fear me?
12
I will expose your righteousness and your works,
and they will not benefit you.
13
When you cry out for help,
let your collection of idols save you!
The wind will carry all of them off,
a mere breath will blow them away.
But whoever takes refuge in me
will inherit the land
and possess my holy mountain."
14
And it will be said:
"Build up, build up, prepare the road!
Remove the obstacles out of the way of my people."
15
For this is what the high and exalted One says—
he who lives forever, whose name is holy:
"I live in a high and holy place,
but also with the one who is contrite and lowly in spirit,
to revive the spirit of the lowly
and to revive the heart of the contrite.
New King James Version
Chapter 57
8
Also behind the doors and their posts
You have set up your remembrance;
For you have uncovered yourself
to those other
than Me,
And have gone up to them;
You have enlarged your bed
And made
a covenant
with them;
You have loved their bed,
Where you saw
their
nudity.
9
You went to the king with ointment,
And increased your perfumes;
You sent your messengers far off,
And
even
descended to Sheol.
10
You are wearied in the length of your way;
Yet
you did not say, ‘There is no hope.’
You have found the life of your hand;
Therefore you were not grieved.
11
“And of whom have you been afraid, or feared,
That you have lied
And not remembered Me,
Nor taken
it
to your heart?
Is it not because I have held My peace from of old
That you do not fear Me?
12
I will declare your righteousness
And your works,
For they will not profit you.
13
When you cry out,
Let your collection
of idols
deliver you.
But the wind will carry them all away,
A breath will take
them.
But he who puts his trust in Me shall possess the land,
And shall inherit My holy mountain.”
14
And one shall say,
“Heap it up! Heap it up!
Prepare the way,
Take the stumbling block out of the way of My people.”
15
For thus says the High and Lofty One
Who inhabits eternity, whose name
is
Holy:
“I dwell in the high and holy
place,
With him
who
has a contrite and humble spirit,
To revive the spirit of the humble,
And to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
