Isaiah 57:9
“You went to the king with oil, and did increase your perfumes, and did send your ambassadors far off, and debased yourself even to Sheol.”
Verse in context — Isaiah 57
On a high and lofty mountain you have set your bed; there also you went up to offer sacrifice.
Behind the doors and the posts you have set up your memorial: for you have uncovered to someone besides me, and have gone up; you have enlarged your bed, and made you a covenant with them: you loved their bed where you saw it.
You went to the king with oil, and did increase your perfumes, and did send your ambassadors far off, and debased yourself even to Sheol.
You were wearied with the length of your way; yet you didn't say, 'It is in vain.' You found a reviving of your strength; therefore you weren't faint.
Of whom have you been afraid and in fear, that you lie, and have not remembered me, nor laid it to your heart? Haven't I held my peace even of long time, and you don't fear me?
