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.

Among the smooth stones of the stream is thy portion; they, they are thy lot: even to them hast thou poured a drink offering, thou hast offered a meat offering. Should I receive comfort in these?

Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.

Behind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up thy remembrance: for thou hast discovered thyself to another than me, and art gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made thee a covenant with them; thou lovedst their bed where thou sawest it.

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]
