Isaiah 57:8-10
Evangelical Heritage Version
8 Behind the door and doorpost you placed your memorial.
Yes, you deserted me and uncovered yourself.[a] You climbed right into bed.
You made room for them in your bed.
You committed yourself to them.
You loved their bed.
You stared at their bodies.[b]
9 You traveled to deliver offerings of fragrant oil to the king,[c]
and you made many offerings of incense.
You sent your messengers to a distant land.
You sent them as far as hell.[d]
10 Because of the length of your journey, you became weary,
but you did not say, “It is hopeless!”
So you found new strength, and you did not faint.
