Oak Trees » The ancients often » Performed idolatrous rites under
under every green tree,
who slaughter children in the wadis
below the clefts of the rocks?
you desired,
and you will be embarrassed because of the gardens
you have chosen.
and they burn offerings on the hills,
and under oaks, poplars, and terebinths,
because their shade is pleasant.
And so your daughters act promiscuously
and your daughters-in-law commit adultery.
You will all know that I am Yahweh when their slain lie among their idols around their altars, on every high hill, on all the mountaintops, and under every green tree and every leafy oak—the places where they offered pleasing aromas to all their idols.
