You take the smooth rocks from the ravines.
    They are your portion.
You pour drink offerings on them to worship them.
    You give grain offerings to them.
    Do you think this makes me want to forgive you?
You make your bed on every hill and mountain.
    And there you offer sacrifices.
You have hidden your idols
    behind your doors and doorposts.
You have left me, and you have uncovered yourself.
    You have pulled back the covers and climbed into bed.
You have made an agreement with
    the ones whose beds you love.
    And you have looked at their nakedness.

The idols(A) among the smooth stones of the ravines are your portion;
    indeed, they are your lot.
Yes, to them you have poured out drink offerings(B)
    and offered grain offerings.
    In view of all this, should I relent?(C)
You have made your bed on a high and lofty hill;(D)
    there you went up to offer your sacrifices.(E)
Behind your doors and your doorposts
    you have put your pagan symbols.
Forsaking me, you uncovered your bed,
    you climbed into it and opened it wide;
you made a pact with those whose beds you love,(F)
    and you looked with lust on their naked bodies.(G)

Among the smooth (A)stones of the stream
Is 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 (B)these?

“On(C) a lofty and high mountain
You have set (D)your bed;
Even there you went up
To offer sacrifice.
Also behind the doors and their posts
You 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 bed
And [a]made a covenant with them;
(E)You have loved their bed,
Where you saw their [b]nudity.

Among the smooth stones of (A)the valley is your portion;
    they, they, are your lot;
to them you have poured out a drink offering,
    you have brought a grain offering.
    Shall I relent for these things?
(B)On a high and lofty mountain
    you have set your bed,
    and there you went up to offer sacrifice.
Behind the door and the doorpost
    you have set up your memorial;
for, deserting me, (C)you have uncovered your bed,
    you have gone up to it,
    (D)you have made it wide;
and you have made a covenant for yourself with them,
    you have loved their bed,
    you have looked on nakedness.[a]
