Context Readings

Idolatry Is Adultery

4 Of whom are you making sport? Against whom do you make a wide mouth and draw out the tongue? Are you not children of transgression, a lying seed, 5 being inflamed with idols under every green tree, killing the little sons in the valleys under the clefts of the rocks? 6 Among the smooth stones of the stream is your portion; they, even they, are your lot; even to them you have poured a drink offering, you have offered a food offering. Should I be consoled over these?
