9 aYou went to the king with ointment,
And increased your perfumes;
You sent your bmessengers far off,
And even descended to Sheol.
And increased your perfumes;
You sent your bmessengers far off,
And even descended to Sheol.
10 You are wearied in the length of your way;
aYet you did not say, ‘There is no hope.’
You have found the life of your hand;
Therefore you were not grieved.
aYet you did not say, ‘There is no hope.’
You have found the life of your hand;
Therefore you were not grieved.
11 “And aof 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 bI have held My peace from of old
That you do not fear Me?
That you have lied
And not remembered Me,
Nor taken it to your heart?
Is it not because bI have held My peace from of old
That you do not fear Me?
13 When you cry out,
Let your collection of idols deliver you.
But the wind will carry them all away,
A breath will take them.
But he who puts his trust in Me shall possess the land,
And shall inherit My holy mountain.”
Let your collection of idols deliver you.
But the wind will carry them all away,
A breath will take them.
But he who puts his trust in Me shall possess the land,
And shall inherit My holy mountain.”
