New Testament

Isaiah 57:9-14 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

9. You use your oils and perfumes to look nice for Molech. You sent your messengers to faraway lands, and this will bring you down to the place of death.

10. All of them made you tired, but you never gave up. You found new strength, because you enjoyed them.

11. You did not remember me. You did not even notice me! So who were you worrying about? Who were you afraid of? Why did you lie? Look, I have been quiet for a long time. Is that why you didn’t honor me?

12. I could tell about your ‘good works’ and all the ‘religious’ things you do, but that will not help you.

13. When you need help, you cry to those false gods that you have gathered around you. Let them help you! But I tell you, the wind will blow them all away. A puff of wind will blow them all away. But the one who depends on me will get the land I promised and enjoy my holy mountain.”

14. Clear the road! Clear the road! Make the way clear for my people!
