Isaiah 57:8-10
Easy-to-Read Version
8 You hide the things that help you remember me
behind the doors and doorframes.[a]
You were with me,
but you got up to go to them.
You spread out your bed
and gave yourself to them.[b]
You love their beds
and enjoy looking at their naked bodies.[c]
9 You use your oils and perfumes
to look nice for Molech.
You sent your messengers to faraway lands,
and this will bring you down to the place of death.[d]
10 All of them made you tired,
but you never gave up.
You found new strength,
because you enjoyed them.
