Who inflame yourselves among the [a](A)oaks,
(B)Under every green tree,
Who (C)slaughter the children in the [b]ravines,
Under the clefts of the cliffs?
Among the [c](D)smooth stones of the [d]ravine
Is your portion, [e]they are your lot;
Even to them you have (E)poured out a drink offering;
You have made a grain offering.
Shall I [f](F)relent concerning these things?
Upon a mountain (G)lofty and lifted up
You have (H)made your bed.
You also went up there to offer sacrifice.
