3 “But you—come here, you children of a sorceress,

you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes!

4 Who are you mocking?

At whom do you sneer

and stick out your tongue?

Are you not a brood of rebels,

the offspring of liars?

5 You burn with lust among the oaks

and under every spreading tree;

you sacrifice your children in the ravines

and under the overhanging crags.

3 But you, draw near,

sons of the sorceress,

offspring of the adulterer and the loose woman.

4 Whom are you mocking?

Against whom do you open your mouth wide

and stick out your tongue?

Are you not children of transgression,

the offspring of deceit,

5 you who burn with lust among the oaks,

under every green tree,

who slaughter your children in the valleys,

under the clefts of the rocks?

3 “But you—come here, you witches’ children,

you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes!

4 Whom do you mock,

making faces and sticking out your tongues?

You children of sinners and liars!

5 You worship your idols with great passion

beneath the oaks and under every green tree.

You sacrifice your children down in the valleys,

among the jagged rocks in the cliffs.

3 “But come here,

You sons of the sorceress,

You offspring of the adulterer and the harlot!

4 Whom 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,

5 Inflaming yourselves with gods under every green tree,

Slaying the children in the valleys,

Under the clefts of the rocks?

3 “Come here, you magicians!

Come here, you children of prostitutes and those who take part in adultery!

4 Of whom are you making fun?

Whom are you insulting?

At whom do you stick out your tongue?

You turn against God,

and you are liars.

5 You have sexual relations under every green tree

to worship your gods.

You kill children in the ravines

and sacrifice them in the rocky places.

3 But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the harlot. 4 Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a wide mouth, and put out the tongue? are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood, 5 ye that inflame yourselves among the oaks, under every green tree; that slay the children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?

3 But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the harlot. 4 Against whom do ye sport yourselves? Against whom do ye make a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? Are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood, 5 inflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clefts of the rocks?

3 But you—come here, 

you children of witches, 

you descendants of adulterers and prostitutes! 

4 Whom are you making fun of? 

Whom are you making a face at? 

Whom are you sticking out your tongue at? 

Aren’t you rebellious children, 

descendants of liars? 

5 You burn with lust under oak trees 

and under every large tree. 

You slaughter children in the valleys 

and under the cracks in the rocks. 

3 But come here,

you sons of a sorceress,

offspring of an adulterer and a prostitute!

4 Who is it you are mocking?

Who is it you are opening your mouth

and sticking out your tongue at?

Isn’t it you, you rebellious children,

you race of liars,

5 who burn with lust among the oaks,

under every green tree,

who slaughter children in the wadis

below the clefts of the rocks?

3 But as for you, come here,

you children of a sorceress,

you offspring of an adulterer and a whore.

4 Whom are you mocking?

Against whom do you open your mouth wide

and stick out your tongue?

Are you not children of transgression,

the offspring of deceit—

5 you that burn with lust among the oaks,

under every green tree;

you that slaughter your children in the valleys,

under the clefts of the rocks?

3 “But you, come near here, you children of a soothsayer,

offspring of an adulterer and she who commits fornication.

4 At whom do you make fun?

At whom do you open your mouth and stick out your tongue?

Are you not children of transgression,

offspring of deception,

5 who burn with lust among the oaks,

under every leafy tree,

who slaughter children in the valleys,

under the clefts of the rocks?

3 The Lord says, “Come here,

you children of women who practice evil magic!

You are children of prostitutes and those who commit adultery.

4 Who are you making fun of?

Who are you laughing at?

Who are you sticking your tongue out at?

You are people who refuse to obey me.

You are just a bunch of liars!

5 You burn with sinful longing among the oak trees.

You worship your gods by having sex under every green tree.

You sacrifice your children in the valleys.

You also do it under the cliffs.

3 “But come here, you sons of a sorceress,

Offspring of an adulterer and a prostitute.

4 “Against whom do you jest?

Against whom do you open wide your mouth

And stick out your tongue?

Are you not children of rebellion,

Offspring of deceit,

5 Who inflame yourselves among the oaks,

Under every luxuriant tree,

Who slaughter the children in the ravines,

Under the clefts of the crags?
