Isaiah 57:12

Idolatry Is Adultery

¹¹ “Of whom were you worried and fearful
When you lied, and did not remember Me
Nor give Me a thought?
Was I not silent even for a long time
So you do not fear Me?
¹² “I will declare your righteousness and your deeds,
But they will not profit you.
¹³ “When you cry out, let your collection of idols deliver you.
But the wind will carry all of them up,
And a breath will take them away.
But he who takes refuge in Me will inherit the land
And will possess My holy mountain.”

As they have chosen their own ways,
And their soul delights in their abominations,
