Isaiah 57:3–9

³But as for you, come here,

you children of a sorceress,

you offspring of an adulterer and a prostitute.^u*

⁴Whom are you mocking?

Against whom do you open your mouth wide

and stick out your tongue?

Are you not children of transgression,

the offspring of deceit—^*

⁵you who burn with lust among the oaks,

under every green tree;

you who slaughter your children in the valleys,

under the clefts of the rocks?^*

⁶Among the smooth stones of the valley is your portion;

it is they who are your lot;

to them you have poured out a drink offering;

you have brought a grain offering.

Should these acts cause me to relent?^*

⁷Upon a high and lofty mountain

you have set your bed,

and there you went up to offer sacrifice.^*

⁸Behind the door and the doorpost

you have set up your symbol,

for in deserting me^v you have uncovered your bed;

you have gone up to it;

you have made it wide;

and you have made a bargain for yourself with them;

you have loved their bed;

you have gazed on their nakedness.^w*

⁹You journeyed to Molech^x with oil

and multiplied your perfumes;

you sent your envoys far away

and sent them down to Sheol.^*
