Old Testament

New Testament

Isaiah 57:5-10 New King James Version (NKJV)

5. Inflaming yourselves with gods under every green tree,Slaying the children in the valleys,Under the clefts of the rocks?

6. Among the smooth stones of the streamIs your portion;They, they, are your lot!Even to them you have poured a drink offering,You have offered a grain offering.Should I receive comfort in these?

7. “On a lofty and high mountainYou have set your bed;Even there you went upTo offer sacrifice.

8. Also behind the doors and their postsYou have set up your remembrance;For you have uncovered yourself to those other than Me,And have gone up to them;You have enlarged your bedAnd made a covenant with them;You have loved their bed,Where you saw their nudity.

9. You went to the king with ointment,And increased your perfumes;You sent your messengers far off,And even descended to Sheol.

10. You are wearied in the length of your way;Yet you did not say, ‘There is no hope.’You have found the life of your hand;Therefore you were not grieved.
