Isaiah 57:3–9

³The Lord says, “Come here,

you children of women who practice evil magic!

You are children of prostitutes and those who commit adultery.

⁴Who 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!

⁵You 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.

⁶You have chosen some of the smooth stones in the valleys to be your gods.

You have joined yourselves to them.

You have even poured out drink offerings to them.

You have given grain offerings to them.

So why should I take pity on you?

⁷You have made your bed to have sex on a very high hill.

You went up there to offer your sacrifices.

⁸You have set up statues to remind you of your gods.

You have put them behind your doors and doorposts.

You deserted me. You invited other lovers into your bed.

You climbed into it and welcomed them.

You made a deal with them.

And you looked at their naked bodies.

⁹You went to the god Molech with olive oil.

You took a lot of perfume along with you.

You sent your messengers to places far away.

You even sent them down to the place of the dead.
