3 And ye, come ye near here, sons of her practicing magic, seed of the adulterer and the harlot.

4 Against whom will ye deride? against whom will ye make broad the mouth, will ye thrust out the tongue? are ye not children of transgressing and a seed of falsehood?

5 Being comforted with gods under every green tree, slaughtering the children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?

6 In the smoothnesses of the torrent they thy portion, they thy lot; also to them thou didst pour out a libation, thou didst bring up a gift Shall I be comforted with these?

7 Upon a mountain high and lifted up thou didst set thy bed: also there thou wentest up to sacrifice a sacrifice.

8 Behind the doors and the door-post thou didst set thy memorial: for from me thou didst migrate, and thou wilt go up; thou didst make broad thy bed, and thou wilt cut out to thee from them; thou didst love their bed; thou didst look upon the hand.
