Isaiah 57:3-13 - Pagan Religion Denounced

³ But come here, you sons of the witch, you offspring of the adulterer and the prostitute! ⁴ With whom are you effeminate (self-indulgent)? With whom do you open wide your mouth and offer your tongue? Are you not children of transgression, offspring of falsehood and deceit? ⁵ Are you inflaming yourselves with gods under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks? ⁶ Is your portion among the smooth stones of the stream? They indeed are your lot! Even to them you have poured a drink offering. You have offered a grain offering. Should this give me comfort? ⁷ You placed your bed on a lofty and high mountain. Even there you went up to offer sacrifice. ⁸ You ordained your memorial behind the doors and their posts. You revealed (uncovered) yourself to those other than me. You went to them. You enlarged your bed and made a covenant with them. You have loved their bed, where you saw their naked manhood. ⁹ You went to the king with ointment and much perfume. You sent your messengers far off, and descended even to the grave. ¹⁰ You are wearied because of the length of your trip. Yet you did not say: I give up. There is no hope. You have found the renewal of your strength. Therefore you were not grieved. ¹¹ Who frightened you? Who made you afraid, that you have lied and not remembered me? You did not take it to your heart. Is it not because I have held my peace from of old that you do not reverence (respect) me? ¹² I will declare your righteousness and your works, yet they will not profit you. ¹³ When you cry out, let your collection of idols deliver you. But the wind will carry them all away. A breath will take them. But he who puts his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain.
