4. Against whom do you make sport,against whom do you open wide your mouth,and stick out your tongue?Are you not rebellious children,deceitful offspring—
5. You who burn with lust among the oaks,under every green tree;You who immolate children in the wadies,among the clefts of the rocks?
6. Among the smooth stones of the wadi is your portion,they, they are your allotment;Indeed, you poured out a drink offering to them,and brought up grain offerings.With these things, should I be appeased?
7. Upon a towering and lofty mountainyou set up your bed,and there you went up to offer sacrifice.
8. Behind the door and the doorpostyou set up your symbol.Yes, deserting me, you carried up your bedding;and spread it wide.You entered an agreement with them,you loved their couch, you gazed upon nakedness.
9. You approached the king with oil,and multiplied your perfumes;You sent your ambassadors far away,down even to deepest Sheol.
10. Though worn out with the length of your journey,you never said, “It is hopeless”;You found your strength revived,and so you did not weaken.
11. Whom did you dread and fear,that you told lies,And me you did not remembernor take to heart?Am I to keep silent and conceal,while you show no fear of me?
12. I will proclaim your justiceand your works;but they shall not help you.
