Context Readings

Idolatry Is Adultery

10 You were tired with your long journeys; but you did not say, There is no hope: you got new strength, and so you were not feeble. 11 And of whom were you in fear, so that you were false, and did not keep me in mind, or give thought to it? Have I not been quiet, keeping myself secret, and so you were not in fear of me? 12 I will make clear what your righteousness is like and your works; you will have no profit in them.
