nkjv@Isaiah:57:5 @ Inflaming yourselves with gods under every green tree, Slaying the children in the valleys, Under the clefts of the rocks?
nkjv@Isaiah:57:6 @ Among the smooth stones of the stream Is your portion; They, they, are your lot! Even to them you have poured a drink offering, You have offered a grain offering. Should I receive comfort in these?

nkjv@Isaiah:57:8 @ Also behind the doors and their posts You have set up your remembrance; For you have uncovered yourself to those other than Me, And have gone up to them; You have enlarged your bed And made a covenant with them; You have loved their bed, Where you saw their nudity.
