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