New Testament

Isaiah 57:2-7 New English Translation (NET)

2. Those who live uprightly enter a place of peace;they rest on their beds.

3. But approach, you sons of omen readers,you offspring of adulteresses and prostitutes!

4. At whom are you laughing?At whom are you opening your mouthand sticking out your tongue?You are the children of rebels,the offspring of liars,

5. you who practice ritual sex under the oaks and every green tree,who slaughter children near the streams under the rocky overhangs.

6. Among the smooth stones of the stream are the idols you love;they, they are the object of your devotion. You pour out liquid offerings to them,you make an offering.Because of these things I will seek vengeance.

7. On every high, elevated hill you prepare your bed;you go up there to offer sacrifices.
