9. You went to the king with oil,and increased your perfumes,and sent your ambassadors far off,and degraded yourself even to Sheol.
10. 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.
11. “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?
12. I will declare your righteousness;and as for your works, they will not benefit you.
