7You make your bed on every hill and mountain,

and there you offer sacrifices.

8You have hidden your idols

behind your doors and doorposts.

You have left me, and you have uncovered yourself.

You have pulled back the covers and climbed into bed.

You have made an agreement with those whose beds you love,

and you have looked at their nakedness.

9You use your oils and perfumes

to look nice for Molech.

You have sent your messengers to faraway lands;

you even tried to send them to the place of the dead.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

On a high and lofty mountain

you have set your bed,

and there you went up to offer sacrifice.

Behind the door and the doorpost

you have set up your memorial;

for, deserting me, you have uncovered your bed,

you have gone up to it,

you have made it wide;

and you have made a covenant for yourself with them,

you have loved their bed,

you have looked on nakedness.

You journeyed to the king with oil

and multiplied your perfumes;

you sent your envoys far off,

and sent down even to Sheol.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

You have made your bed on a high and lofty hill;

there you went up to offer your sacrifices.

Behind your doors and your doorposts

you have put your pagan symbols.

Forsaking me, you uncovered your bed,

you climbed into it and opened it wide;

you made a pact with those whose beds you love,

and you looked with lust on their naked bodies.

You went to Molek with olive oil

and increased your perfumes.

You sent your ambassadors far away;

you descended to the very realm of the dead!

CSBChristian Standard Bible

You have placed your bed

on a high and lofty mountain;

you also went up there to offer sacrifice.

You have set up your memorial

behind the door and doorpost.

For away from me, you stripped,

went up, and made your bed wide,

and you have made a bargain for yourself with them.

You have loved their bed;

you have gazed on their genitals.

You went to the king with oil

and multiplied your perfumes;

you sent your envoys far away

and sent them down even to Sheol.

NLTNew Living Translation

You have committed adultery on every high mountain.

There you have worshiped idols

and have been unfaithful to me.

You have put pagan symbols

on your doorposts and behind your doors.

You have left me

and climbed into bed with these detestable gods.

You have committed yourselves to them.

You love to look at their naked bodies.

You have gone to Molech

with olive oil and many perfumes,

sending your agents far and wide,

even to the world of the dead,

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

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

indeed, you went up there to slaughter sacrifice.

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

for you depart from me, and you go up;

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

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

And you climbed down to the king with oil,

and you made your perfumes numerous,

and you sent your envoys far away,

and you sent down deep to Sheol.

KJV 1900King James Version

Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed:

Even thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.

Behind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up thy remembrance:

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

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

Thou lovedst their bed where thou sawest it.

And thou wentest to the king with ointment,

And didst increase thy perfumes,

And didst send thy messengers far off,

And didst debase thyself even unto hell.
