Isaiah 57:5-10
you who practice ritual sex under the oaks and every green tree, who slaughter children near the streams under the rocky overhangs.Among the smooth stones of the stream are the idols you love; they, they are the object of your devotion. You pour out liquid offerings to them, you make an offering. Because of these things I will seek vengeance.On every high, elevated hill you prepare your bed; you go up there to offer sacrifices.Behind the door and doorpost you put your symbols. Indeed, you depart from me and go up and invite them into bed with you. You purchase favors from them, you love their bed, and gaze longingly on their genitals.You take olive oil as tribute to your king, along with many perfumes. You send your messengers to a distant place; you go all the way to Sheol.Because of the long distance you must travel, you get tired, but you do not say,‘ I give up.’ You get renewed energy, so you don’t collapse.
