Isaiah 57:3–9

³But draw near hither, ye sons of ^ffthe sorceress,

^gkThe seed of the adulterer and the whore.

⁴Against whom do ye ^hsport yourselves?

Against whom ⁱmake ye a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue?

Are ye not children of transgression, ^ka seed of falsehood,

⁵Inflaming yourselves with ^lidols ^llunder every green tree,

^mSlaying the children in the valleys under ⁿthe clifts of the rocks?

⁶Among the smooth stones of the stream is thy portion;

They, they are thy lot:

Even to them hast thou poured a drink offering,

Thou hast offered a meat offering.

Should I receive comfort in these?

^7oUpon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set ^pthy bed:

Even thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.

^8qBehind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up ^rthy remembrance:

For ^sthou hast discovered thyself to another than me, and art gone up;

Thou hast enlarged ^pthy bed, and made thee a covenant with them;

^tThou lovedst their bed ^uwhere thou sawest it.

⁹And ^wthou wentest to the king with ^xointment,

And ^ydidst increase ^xthy perfumes,

And didst ^zsend thy messengers far off,

And didst debase thyself even unto hell.
