Isaiah 57:11 in context

  1. 9You went to the king with oil,
    increased your perfumes,
    sent your ambassadors far off,
    and degraded yourself even to Sheol.
  2. 10You 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.
  3. 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?
  4. 12I will declare your righteousness;
    and as for your works, they will not benefit you.
  5. 13When 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.”
