Isaiah 57:10
Compare all
8 Also behind the doors and1 their posts
You have set up your remembrance;
For you have uncovered yourself to those other than Me,
And have gone up to them;
You have enlarged your bed
And made a covenant with them;
aYou have loved their bed,
Where you saw their1 nudity. 
9 aYou went to the king with ointment,
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. 
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? 
12 I will declare your righteousness
And your works,
For they will not profit you.

Isaiah 57:10

greatness of . . . way—the length of thy journey in seeking strange gods, or else foreign aid (Jeremiah 2:23-24). Notwithstanding thy deriving no good from these long journeys (so, "send . . . far off," Isaiah 57:9), thou dost not still give up hope (Jeremiah 2:25; Jeremiah 18:12).

hast found . . . life of . . . hand—for "thou still findest life (that is, vigor) enough in thy hand" to make new idols [MAURER], or to seek new alliance ("hand" being then taken for strength in general).

grieved—rather, "therefore thou art not weak" [MAURER]; inasmuch as having "life in thy hand," thou art still strong in hope.
