Berean Standard Bible
Isaiah 57:4-11
4Whom are you mocking? At whom do you sneer and stick out your tongue? Are you not children of transgression, offspring of deceit,5who burn with lust among the oaks, under every luxuriant tree, who slaughter your children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?6Your portion is among the smooth stones of the valley; indeed, they are your lot. Even to them you have poured out a drink offering and offered a grain offering. Should I relent because of these?
7On a high and lofty hill you have made your bed,and there you went up to offer sacrifices.8Behind the door and doorpostyou have set up your memorial.Forsaking Me, you uncovered your bed;you climbed up and opened it wide.And you have made a pact with those whose bed you have loved;you have gazed upon their nakedness.9You went to Molech1 with oiland multiplied your perfumes.You have sent your envoys2 a great distance;you have descended even to Sheol itself.10You are wearied by your many journeys,but you did not say, “There is no hope!”You found renewal of your strength;therefore you did not grow weak.
11Whom have you dreaded and feared,so that you lied and failedto remember Me or take this to heart?Is it not because I have long been silentthat you do not fear Me?
