10 You are wearied in the length of your way;
(A)Yet you did not say, ‘There is no hope.’
You have found the life of your hand;
Therefore you were not grieved.

11 “And (B)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 (C)I have [a]held My peace from of old
That you do not fear Me?
12 I will declare your righteousness
And your works,
For they will not profit you.

  1. Isaiah 57:11 remained silent

10 You wearied(A) yourself by such going about,
    but you would not say, ‘It is hopeless.’(B)
You found renewal of your strength,(C)
    and so you did not faint.

11 “Whom have you so dreaded and feared(D)
    that you have not been true to me,
and have neither remembered(E) me
    nor taken this to heart?(F)
Is it not because I have long been silent(G)
    that you do not fear me?
12 I will expose your righteousness and your works,(H)
    and they will not benefit you.
