You went to the king with oil, increased your perfumes, sent your ambassadors far off, and degraded yourself even to Sheol.
You were wearied with the length of your ways; yet you didn’t say, ‘It is in vain.’ You found a reviving of your strength; therefore you weren’t faint.
“Whom have you dreaded and feared, so that you lie, and have not remembered me, nor laid it to your heart?
Haven’t I held my peace for a long time, and you don’t fear me?
I will declare your righteousness; and as for your works, they will not benefit you.
