Isaiah 57:3–9

³“But come here, you sons of a ^asorceress,

^bOffspring of an adulterer and ¹a ^cprostitute.

⁴“Against whom do you jest?

Against whom do you open wide your mouth

And stick out your tongue?

Are you not children of ^arebellion,

Offspring of deceit,

⁵Who inflame yourselves among the ^1aoaks,

^bUnder every luxuriant tree,

Who ^cslaughter the children in the ²ravines,

Under the clefts of the crags?

⁶“Among the ^1asmooth stones of the ²ravine

Is your portion, ³they are your lot;

Even to them you have ^bpoured out a drink offering,

You have made a grain offering.

Shall I ^4crelent concerning these things?

⁷“Upon a ^ahigh and lofty mountain

You have ^bmade your bed.

You also went up there to offer sacrifice.

⁸“Behind the door and the doorpost

You have set up your sign;

Indeed, far removed from Me, you have ^auncovered yourself,

And have gone up and made your bed wide.

And you have made an agreement for yourself with them,

You have loved their ¹bed,

You have looked on their ²manhood.

⁹“You have journeyed to the king with oil

And increased your perfumes;

You have ^asent your envoys a great distance

And made them go down to ¹Sheol.
