Isaiah 57:13
New Living Translation
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.”
Isaiah 57:5-10
New Living Translation
5 You worship your idols with great passion
beneath the oaks and under every green tree.
You sacrifice your children down in the valleys,
among the jagged rocks in the cliffs.
6 Your gods are the smooth stones in the valleys.
You worship them with liquid offerings and grain offerings.
They, not I, are your inheritance.
Do you think all this makes me happy?
7 You have committed adultery on every high mountain.
There you have worshiped idols
and have been unfaithful to me.
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[a]
with olive oil and many perfumes,
sending your agents far and wide,
even to the world of the dead.[b]
10 You grew weary in your search,
but you never gave up.
Desire gave you renewed strength,
and you did not grow weary.
Isaiah 57:5-10
New International Version
5 You burn with lust among the oaks(A)
and under every spreading tree;(B)
you sacrifice your children(C) in the ravines
and under the overhanging crags.
6 The idols(D) among the smooth stones of the ravines are your portion;
indeed, they are your lot.
Yes, to them you have poured out drink offerings(E)
and offered grain offerings.
In view of all this, should I relent?(F)
7 You have made your bed on a high and lofty hill;(G)
there you went up to offer your sacrifices.(H)
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,(I)
and you looked with lust on their naked bodies.(J)
9 You went to Molek[a](K) with olive oil
and increased your perfumes.(L)
You sent your ambassadors[b](M) far away;
you descended to the very realm of the dead!(N)
10 You wearied(O) yourself by such going about,
but you would not say, ‘It is hopeless.’(P)
You found renewal of your strength,(Q)
and so you did not faint.
