Isaiah 57:4-9 Against whom, would ye disport yourselves? Against whom, would ye widen the mouth, and lengthen the tongue,––Are not, ye, Children of transgression, A Seed of falsehood.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Against whom, would ye disport yourselves? Against whom, would ye widen the mouth, and lengthen the tongue,––Are not, ye, Children of transgression, A Seed of falsehood. ⁵ Who inflame yourselves, With the terebinths, Under every green tree––Slaying the children, In the torrent–valleys, Under the clefts of the crags: ⁶ Among the smooth stones of the torrent––valley, is thy portion, They, they, are thy lot; Even to them, hast thou, Poured out a drink–offering. Caused to ascend a gift. Over these things, can I cease to grieve? ⁷ On a mountain high and uplifted, hast thou set thy couch,––Even thither, hast thou gone up, to offer sacrifice; ⁸ And, behind the door and the post, hast thou set thy symbol, For, with another than me, hast thou uncovered thyself and gone up––Hast widened thy couch, And hast solemnised for thyself a covenant from them, Thou hast loved their couch, a sign, hast thou seen; ⁹ And hast gone to the king with oil, And hast multiplied thy perfumes,––And hast sent thy messengers afar, And. . . lowered thyself as far as hades!
