1. God's faithful peopleare dragged off and killed,and no one even cares.Evil sweeps them away,
2. but in death they find peacefor obeying God.
3. You people are unfaithful!You go to fortune-tellers,and you worship idols.Now pay close attention!
4. Who are you making fun of?Who are you sneering at?Look how your sinshave made fools of you.
5. All you think about is sexunder those green treeswhere idols are worshipped.You sacrifice your childrenon altars built in valleysunder rocky slopes.
6. You have chosen to worshipidols made of stone;you have given them offeringsof wine and grain.Should I be pleased?
7. You have spread out your bedson the tops of high mountains,where you sacrifice to idols.
8. Even in your homesyou have placed pagan symbolsall around your huge beds.Yes, you have rejected me,sold yourselves to your lovers,and gone to bed with them.
9. You smear on olive oiland all kinds of perfumeto worship the god Molech.You even seek advicefrom spirits of the dead.
10. Though you tired yourself outby running after idols,you refused to stop.Your desires were so strongthat they kept you going.
