Isaiah 57:3-9

3“But come here, You sons of the sorceress, You offspring of the adulterer and the harlot!

4Whom do you ridicule? Against whom do you make a wide mouth And stick out the tongue? Are you not children of transgression, Offspring of falsehood,

5Inflaming yourselves with gods under every green tree, Slaying the children in the valleys, Under the clefts of the rocks?

6Among the smooth stones of the stream Is your portion; They, they, are your lot! Even to them you have poured a drink offering, You have offered a grain offering. Should I receive comfort in these?

7“On a lofty and high mountain You have set your bed; Even there you went up To offer sacrifice.

8Also behind the doors and their posts You have set up your remembrance; For you have uncovered yourself to those other than Me, And have gone up to them; You have enlarged your bed And made a covenant with them; You have loved their bed, Where you saw their nudity.

9You went to the king with ointment, And increased your perfumes; You sent your messengers far off, And even descended to Sheol.
