Isaiah 57:3–9

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

offspring of an adulterer and she who commits fornication.

⁴At whom do you make fun?

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

Are you not children of transgression,

offspring of deception,

⁵who burn with lust among the oaks,

under every leafy tree,

who slaughter children in the valleys,

under the clefts of the rocks?

⁶Your portion is among the smooth stones of the valley;

they, they are your lot;

indeed, to them you have poured out a drink offering,

you have brought a food offering.

Shall I relent concerning these things?

⁷You have set your bed upon a high and lofty mountain;

indeed, you went up there to slaughter sacrifice.

⁸And you have set your symbol behind the door and the doorpost;

for you depart^e from me, and you go up;

you make your bed wide, and you make a deal with^f them,

you have loved their bed; you have seen their genitals.^g

⁹And you climbed down to the king with oil,

and you made your perfumes numerous,

and you sent your envoys far away,^h

and you sent down deepⁱ to Sheol.
