Isaiah 57:5

Idolatry Is Adultery

⁴ Who is it you are mocking?
Who is it you are opening your mouth
and sticking out your tongue at?
Isn’t it you, you rebellious children,
you race of liars,
⁵ who burn with lust among the oaks,
under every green tree,
who slaughter children in the wadis
below the clefts of the rocks?
⁶ Your portion is among the smooth stones of the wadi;
indeed, they are your lot.
You have even poured out a drink offering to them;
you have offered a grain offering;
should I be satisfied with these?
