Isaiah 57:9-11
New King James Version
9 (A)You went to the king with ointment,
And increased your perfumes;
You sent your (B)messengers far off,
And even descended to Sheol.
10 You are wearied in the length of your way;
(C)Yet you did not say, ‘There is no hope.’
You have found the life of your hand;
Therefore you were not grieved.
11 “And (D)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 (E)I have [a]held My peace from of old
That you do not fear Me?
