Isaiah 57:5 Context
3¶ But draw neere hither, yee sonnes of the sorceresse, the seed of the adulterer, and the whore. 4Against whom doe ye sport your selues? against whom make ye a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? are ye not children of transgression, a seede of falsehood? 5Inflaming your selues with idoles vnder euery greene tree, slaying the children in the valleys vnder the cliftes of the rockes? 6Among the smooth stones of the streame is thy portion; they, they are thy lot: euen to them hast thou powred a drinke offering, thou hast offered a meate offering. Should I receiue comfort in these? 7Upon a loftie and high mountaine hast thou set thy bed: euen thither wentest thou vp to offer sacrifice.
