Isaiah 57:3-9
3“But come here, you sons of a 1sorceress, 2Offspring of an adulterer and 3a 4prostitute.4Against whom do you jest? Against whom do you open wide your mouth And stick out your tongue? Are you not children of 5rebellion, Offspring of deceit,5Who inflame yourselves among the 67oaks, 8Under every luxuriant tree, Who 9slaughter the children in the 10ravines, Under the clefts of the crags?6Among the 1112smooth stones of the 13ravine Is your portion, 14they are your lot; Even to them you have 15poured out a drink offering, You have made a grain offering. Shall I 1617relent concerning these things?7Upon a 18high and lofty mountain You have 19made your bed. You also went up there to offer sacrifice.8Behind the door and the doorpost You have set up your sign; Indeed, far removed from Me, you have 20uncovered yourself, And have gone up and made your bed wide. And you have made an agreement for yourself with them, You have loved their 21bed, You have looked on their 22manhood.9You have journeyed to the king with oil And increased your perfumes; You have 23sent your envoys a great distance And made them go down to 24Sheol.
