Isaiah 57:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 Inflamed with idols under every green tree? and sacrificing the [a]children in the valleys under the tops of the rocks?
6 Thy portion is in the smooth stones [b]of the river: they, they are thy lot: even to them hast thou poured a drink offering: thou hast offered a sacrifice. Should I delight in [c]these?
7 Thou hast made thy [d]bed upon a very high mountain: thou wentest up thither, even thither wentest thou to offer sacrifice.
