Isaiah 57:2-8

1. 2 He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.

2. 3 But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore.

3. 4 Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood,

4. 5 Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks?

5. 6 Among the smooth stones of the stream is thy portion; they, they are thy lot: even to them hast thou poured a drink offering, thou hast offered a meat offering. Should I receive comfort in these?

6. 7 Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.

7. 8 Behind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up thy remembrance: for thou hast discovered thyself to another than me, and art gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made thee a covenant with them; thou lovedst their bed where thou sawest it.
