Bible. Isaiah
23:057:008 Behind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up thy
remembrance: for thou hast discovered thyself to another than
me, and art gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made thee
a covenant with them; thou lovedst their bed where thou sawest
it.
23:057:009 And thou wentest to the king with ointment, and didst increase
thy perfumes, and didst send thy messengers far off, and didst
debase thyself even unto hell.
23:057:010 Thou art wearied in the greatness of thy way; yet saidst thou
not, There is no hope: thou hast found the life of thine hand;
therefore thou wast not grieved.
23:057:011 And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that thou hast
lied, and hast not remembered me, nor laid it to thy heart?
have not I held my peace even of old, and thou fearest me not?
23:057:012 I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works; for they
shall not profit thee.
23:057:013 When thou criest, let thy companies deliver thee; but the wind
shall carry them all away; vanity shall take them: but he that
putteth his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall
inherit my holy mountain;
23:057:014 And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take
up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people.
23:057:015 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth
eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy
place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit,
to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of
the contrite ones.
23:057:016 For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always
wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls
which I have made.
23:057:017 For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote
him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the
way of his heart.
23:057:018 I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also,
and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.
23:057:019 I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is
far off, and to him that is near, saith the LORD; and I will
heal him.
23:057:020 But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest,
whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
23:057:021 There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
23:058:001 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and
shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob
their sins.
23:058:002 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a
nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance
of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they
take delight in approaching to God.
