Isaiah 57:5-11
5Who inflame yourselves among the 12oaks, 3Under every luxuriant tree, Who 4slaughter the children in the 5ravines, Under the clefts of the crags?6Among the 67smooth stones of the 8ravine Is your portion, 9they are your lot; Even to them you have 10poured out a drink offering, You have made a grain offering. Shall I 1112relent concerning these things?7Upon a 13high and lofty mountain You have 14made 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 15uncovered yourself, And have gone up and made your bed wide. And you have made an agreement for yourself with them, You have loved their 16bed, You have looked on their 17manhood.9You have journeyed to the king with oil And increased your perfumes; You have 18sent your envoys a great distance And made them go down to 19Sheol.10You were tired out by the length of your road, Yet you did not say, ‘20It is hopeless.’ You found 21renewed strength, Therefore you did not 22faint.
11“Of 23whom were you worried and fearful When you lied, and did 24not remember Me 25Nor 26give Me a thought? Was I not silent even for a long time So you do not fear Me?
