Isaiah 57:3–9

³“But come here,

^dYou sons of the sorceress,

You offspring of the adulterer and the harlot!

⁴Whom do you ridicule?

Against whom do you make a wide mouth

And stick out the tongue?

Are you not children of transgression,

Offspring of falsehood,

⁵Inflaming yourselves with gods ^eunder every green tree,

^fSlaying the children in the valleys,

Under the clefts of the rocks?

⁶Among the smooth ^gstones of the stream

Is your portion;

They, they, are your lot!

Even to them you have poured a drink offering,

You have offered a grain offering.

Should I receive comfort in ^hthese?

⁷“On ⁱa lofty and high mountain

You have set ^jyour bed;

Even there you went up

To offer sacrifice.

⁸Also behind the doors and their posts

You have set up your remembrance;

For you have uncovered yourself to those other than Me,

And have gone up to them;

You have enlarged your bed

And ²made a covenant with them;

^kYou have loved their bed,

Where you saw their ³nudity.

^9lYou went to the king with ointment,

And increased your perfumes;

You sent your ^mmessengers far off,

And even descended to Sheol.
