Isaias 57:3-10 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

3. But draw near hither, you sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer, and of the harlot.

4. Upon whom have you jested? upon whom have you opened your mouth wide, and put out your tongue? are not you wicked children, a false seed,

5. Who seek your comfort in idols under every green tree, sacrificing children in the torrents, under the high rocks?

6. In the parts of the torrent is thy portion, this is thy lot: and thou hast poured out libations to them, thou hast offered sacrifice. Shall I not be angry at these things?

7. Upon a high and lofty mountain thou hast laid thy bed, and hast gone up thither to offer victims.

8. And behind the door, and behind the post thou best set up thy remembrance: for thou hast discovered thyself near me, and hast received an adulterer: thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made a covenant with them: thou hast loved their bed with open hand.

9. And thou hast adorned thyself for the king with ointment, and hast multiplied thy perfumes. Thou hast sent thy messengers far off, and wast debased even to hell.

10. Thou hast been wearied in the multitude of thy ways: yet thou saidst not: I will rest: thou hast found life of thy hand, therefore thou hast not asked.
