Context Readings

Idolatry Is Adultery

1 But in the mean season the righteous perisheth, and no man regardeth it in his heart. Good godly people are taken away, and no man considereth it. Namely, that the righteous is conveyed away through the wicked, 2 that he himself might be in rest, lie quietly upon his bed, and live after his own pleasure. 3 Come hither, therefore, ye charmer's children; ye sons of the adulterer and the whore.
