Isaiah

Isaiah 57:5–7

5who burn with lust among the oaks,

under every luxuriant tree,

who slaughter your children in the valleys,

under the clefts of the rocks?

6Your portion is among the smooth stones of the valley;

indeed, they are your lot.

Even to them you have poured out a drink offering

and offered a grain offering.

Should I relent because of these?

7On a high and lofty hill you have made your bed,

and there you went up to offer sacrifices.
