3 “But you—come here, you children of a sorceress,p

you offspring of adulterersq and prostitutes!r

4 Who are you mocking?

At whom do you sneer

and stick out your tongue?

Are you not a brood of rebels,s

the offspring of liars?

5 You burn with lust among the oakst

and under every spreading tree;u

you sacrifice your childrenv in the ravines

and under the overhanging crags.

6 The idolsw among the smooth stones of the ravines are your portion;

indeed, they are your lot.

Yes, to them you have poured out drink offeringsx

and offered grain offerings.

In view of all this, should I relent?y

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

there you went up to offer your sacrifices.a

8 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,b

and you looked with lust on their naked bodies.c

9 You went to Moleka d with olive oil

and increased your perfumes.e

You sent your ambassadorsb f far away;

you descended to the very realm of the dead!g
