Isaiah 57:3-9

1. 3 But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore.

2. 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,

3. 5 Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks?

4. 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?

5. 7 Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.

6. 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.

7. 9 And thou wentest to the king with ointment, and didst increase thy perfumes, and didst send thy messengers far off, and didst debase thyself even unto hell.
