Isaiah 57:5-10
You worship your idols with great passion beneath the oaks and under every green tree. You sacrifice your children down in the valleys, among the jagged rocks in the cliffs.Your gods are the smooth stones in the valleys. You worship them with liquid offerings and grain offerings. They, not I, are your inheritance. Do you think all this makes me happy?You have committed adultery on every high mountain. There you have worshiped idols and have been unfaithful to me.You have put pagan symbols on your doorposts and behind your doors. You have left me and climbed into bed with these detestable gods. You have committed yourselves to them. You love to look at their naked bodies.You have gone to Molech with olive oil and many perfumes, sending your agents far and wide, even to the world of the dead.You grew weary in your search, but you never gave up. Desire gave you renewed strength, and you did not grow weary.
