Isaiah 57:3-13

3“But come here, you sons of a 1sorceress, 2Offspring of an adulterer and 3a 4prostitute!4Of whom do you make fun? 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 6oaks, 7Under every luxuriant tree, Who 8slaughter the children in the 9ravines, Under the clefts of the rocks?6Among the 1011smooth stones of the 12ravine Is your portion, 13they are your lot; Even to them you have 14poured out a drink offering, You have made a grain offering. Should I 1516relent of these things?7On a 17high and lofty mountain You have 18made 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 19uncovered yourself, And have gone up and made your bed wide. And you have made an agreement for yourself with them, You have loved their bed, You have looked at their 20manhood.9You have journeyed to the king with oil And increased your perfumes; You have 21sent your messengers a great distance And made them go down to 22Sheol.10You were tired out by the length of your road, Yet you did not say, ‘23It is hopeless!’ You found 24renewed strength, Therefore you did not 25faint.

11“Of 26whom were you worried and fearful When you lied, and did 27not remember Me 28Nor 29give Me a thought? Was I not silent, even for a long time, So you do not fear Me?12I will 30declare your righteousness and your 31deeds, And they will not benefit you.13When you cry out, 32let your collection of idols save you. But the wind will carry them all up, And a breath will take them away. But the one who 33takes refuge in Me will 34inherit the land And 35possess My holy mountain.”
