13 They offer sacrifices on the (A)tops of the mountains
And [a](B)burn incense on the hills,
(C)Under oak, poplar, and terebinth,
Because their shade is pleasant.
Therefore your daughters play the prostitute,
And your [b]brides commit adultery.
14 I will not punish your daughters when they play the prostitute,
Or your [c]brides when they commit adultery,
Because the men themselves slip away with the prostitutes
And offer sacrifices with (D)temple prostitutes;
So the people without understanding are ruined.
