Isaiah 57:3-9 — Legacy Standard Bible

³“But draw near, you sons of a ^asoothsayer,^bSeed of an adulterer and ¹a ^cprostitute.⁴“Against whom do you jest?Against whom do you open wide your mouthAnd stick out your tongue?Are you not children of ^atransgression,Seed of lying,⁵Who inflame yourselves among the ¹^,^aoaks,^bUnder every green tree,Who ^cslaughter the children in the ²ravines,Under the clefts of the cliffs?⁶“Among the ¹^,^asmooth stones of the ²ravineIs your portion, ³they are your lot;Even to them you have ^bpoured out a drink offering;You have made a grain offering.Shall I ⁴^,^crelent concerning these things?⁷“Upon a mountain ^alofty and lifted upYou have ^bmade your bed.You also went up there to offer sacrifice.⁸“Behind the door and the doorpostYou have set up your memorial;Indeed, far removed from Me, you have ^auncovered yourself,And have gone up and made your bed wide,And you have cut a covenant for yourself with them;You have loved their ¹bed;You have looked on their ²manhood.⁹“You have journeyed to the king with oilAnd increased your perfumes;You have ^asent your envoys a great distanceAnd made them go down to Sheol.
