³ “But come here,
^(A)You sons of the sorceress,
You offspring of the adulterer and the harlot!
⁴ Whom do you ridicule?
Against whom do you make a wide mouth
And stick out the tongue?
Are you not children of transgression,
Offspring of falsehood,
⁵ Inflaming yourselves with gods ^(B)under every green tree,
^(C)Slaying the children in the valleys,
Under the clefts of the rocks?
⁶ Among the smooth ^(D)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 ^(E)these?

⁷ “On^(F) a lofty and high mountain
You have set ^(G)your bed;
Even there you went up
To offer sacrifice.
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 ^[a]made a covenant with them;
^(H)You have loved their bed,
Where you saw their ^[b]nudity.
^9 (I)You went to the king with ointment,
And increased your perfumes;
You sent your ^(J)messengers far off,
And even descended to Sheol.

²⁰ “For of old I have ^(A)broken your yoke and burst your bonds;
And ^(B)you said, ‘I will not ^[a]transgress,’
When ^(C)on every high hill and under every green tree
You lay down, ^(D)playing the harlot.
