Isaiah 57:3-9

3But you—come here, you children of witches, you descendants of adulterers and prostitutes!

4Whom are you making fun of? Whom are you making a face at? Whom are you sticking out your tongue at? Aren’t you rebellious children, descendants of liars?

5You burn with lust under oak trees and under every large tree. You slaughter children in the valleys and under the cracks in the rocks.

6Your idols are among the smooth stones in the ravine. They are your destiny. You have given them wine offerings and sacrificed grain offerings to them. Do you think I am pleased with all this?

7You’ve made your bed on a high and lofty mountain. You’ve gone to offer sacrifices there.

8You’ve set up your idols beside doors and doorposts. You’ve uncovered yourself to the idols. You’ve distanced yourself from me. You’ve made your bed with them. You’ve made a deal with those you have pleasure with in bed. You’ve seen them naked.

9You’ve journeyed to the king with perfumed oils and put on plenty of perfume. You’ve sent your ambassadors far away and sent them down to Sheol.
