Isaiah 57:5 in context

  1. 3“But draw near here, you sons of a sorceress,
    you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes.
  2. 4Whom do you mock?
    Against whom do you make a wide mouth
    and stick out your tongue?
    Aren’t you children of disobedience
    and offspring of falsehood,
  3. 5you who inflame yourselves among the oaks,
    under every green tree;
    who kill the children in the valleys,
    under the clefts of the rocks?
  4. 6Among the smooth stones of the valley is your portion.
    They, they are your lot.
    You have even poured a drink offering to them.
    You have offered an offering.
    Shall I be appeased for these things?
  5. 7On a high and lofty mountain you have set your bed.
    You also went up there to offer sacrifice.
