Isaiah 57:3-9

3But drawH7126 nearH7126 hither, ye sonsH1121 of the sorceress, the seedH2233 of the adultererH5003 and the whore.

4AgainstH5921 whomH4310 doH4310 ye sport yourselves? againstH5921 whomH4310 makeH7337 ye a wideH7337 mouthH6310, and draw outH5921 the tongueH3956? are ye notH3808 childrenH3206 of transgressionH6588, a seedH2233 of falsehoodH8267,

5ye that inflameH2552 yourselves among the oaks, underH8478 everyH3605 greenH7488 treeH6086; that slayH7819 the childrenH3206 in the valleysH5158, underH8478 the cleftsH5585 of the rocksH5553?

6Among the smooth stones of the valleyH5158 is thy portionH2506; they, they are thy lotH1486: evenH1571 to them hast thou pouredH8210 a drink offering, thou hast offeredH5927 an oblation. Shall I be appeasedH5162 for theseH428 things?

7UponH5921 a highH1364 and loftyH1364 mountainH2022 hast thou setH7760 thy bedH4904: thither also wentest thou upH5927 to offerH5927 sacrificeH2077.

8And behindH310 the doorsH1817 and the postsH4201 hast thou setH7760 upH5927 thy memorialH2146: for thou hast discovered thyself to another thanH3588 meH7760, and art goneH5927 upH5927; thou hast enlargedH7337 thy bedH4904, and madeH3772 thee a covenant with them; thou lovedst their bedH4904 where thou sawest it.

9And thou wentest to the kingH4428 with ointmentH8081, and didst increaseH7235 thy perfumesH7547, and didst sendH7971 thine ambassadors farH5704 offH7350, and didst debase thyself evenH5704 unto hell.
