3But you, draw near hither,

sons of the sorceress,

offspring of the adulterer and the harlot.

4Of whom are you making sport?

Against whom do you open your mouth wide

and put 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;

who slay your children in the valleys,

under the clefts of the rocks?

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

they, they, are your lot;

to them you have poured out a drink offering,

you have brought a cereal offering.

Shall I be appeased for these things?

7Upon a high and lofty mountain

you have set your bed,

and thither you went up to offer sacrifice.

8Behind the door and the doorpost

you have set up your symbol;

for, deserting me, 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 looked on nakedness.e

9You journeyed to Molechf with oil

and multiplied your perfumes;

you sent your envoys far off,

and sent down even to Sheol.
