Isaiah 57:3-8 ▼

3 |But as for you, come here, you children of a sorceress, you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes!

4 Whom are you mocking? And against whom do you make a wide mouth and stick out your tongue? Are you not children of transgression, the offspring of lies,

5 you who burn with lust among the oaks, under every spreading tree, who slaughter your children in the ravines, under the clefts of the rocks?

6 |Among the smooth stones of the ravines is your portion— there they are as your lot. To them you have poured out drink offerings; you have brought grain offerings. Should I be lenient over such things?

7 |You have made your bed on a high and lofty mountain, and you went up to offer sacrifice there.

8 Behind the doors and the doorposts you have set up your pagan sign.| For in deserting me you have uncovered your bed— you have climbed up into it and have opened it wide. And you have made a pact for yourself with them; you have loved their bed, you have looked on their private parts.
