Upon

When I had brought them into the land which I swore to give to them, then they saw every high hill and every leafy tree, and they offered there their sacrifices and there they presented the provocation of their offering. There also they made their soothing aroma and there they poured out their drink offerings.

For they also built for themselves high places and sacred pillars and

Asherim on every high hill and beneath every luxuriant tree.

He sacrificed and burned incense on the high places and on the hills and under every green tree.

Surely you will be ashamed of the

oaks which you have desired,

And you will be embarrassed at the gardens which you have chosen.

Who inflame yourselves among the

oaks,

Under every luxuriant tree,

Who slaughter the children in the ravines,
Under the clefts of the crags?

A people who continually provoke Me to My face,
Offering sacrifices in gardens and burning incense on bricks;

“Those who sanctify and purify themselves to go to the gardens,

Following one in the center,

Who eat swine’s flesh, detestable things and mice,
Will come to an end altogether,” declares the Lord.

“For long ago

I broke your yoke

And tore off your bonds;
But you said, ‘I will not serve!’
For on every high hill
And under every green tree
You have lain down as a harlot.

Then the Lord said to me in the days of Josiah the king, “Have you seen what faithless Israel did? She went up on every high hill and under every green tree, and she was a harlot there.

They offer sacrifices on the tops of the mountains
And

burn incense on the hills,

Under oak, poplar and terebinth,

Because their shade is pleasant.
Therefore your daughters play the harlot
And your brides commit adultery.
