Isaiah 57:9-11

New International Reader's Version

⁹ You took olive oil to the god named Molek.
    You took a lot of perfume along with you.
You sent your messengers to places far away.
    You even sent them down to the place of the dead.
¹⁰ You wore yourself out with all your efforts.
    But you would not say, ‘It’s hopeless.’
You received new strength.
    So you did not give up.
