Among the smooth stones of the stream is your portion; they, even they, are your lot; even to them you have poured a drink offering, you have offered a food offering. Should I be consoled over these? On a lofty and high mountain you have set your bed; even there you went up to offer sacrifice. Also behind the door and the post you have set up your image; for you uncovered yourself and went up from Me. You spread your bed and cut a covenant with them; you loved their bed where you looked. And you went to the king with ointment, and increased your perfumes, and sent your messengers far off, and lowered yourself even to hell. You are wearied in the length of your way; you did not say, Despair! You found life in your hand; so you were not weak. And of whom have you been afraid or feared, that you have lied and have not remembered Me, nor laid it to your heart? Have I not been silent, even from forever, and you did not fear Me? I will declare your righteousness, and your works; for they shall not do you any good. When you cry, let your gathering deliver you; but the wind shall carry them all away. Vanity shall take them; but he who puts his trust in Me shall possess the land, and shall inherit My holy mountain.
