New Living Translation
7 You have committed adultery on every high mountain.
There you have worshiped idols
and have been unfaithful to me.
8 You have put pagan symbols
on your doorposts and behind your doors.
You have left me

with olive oil and many perfumes,
sending your agents far and wide,
even to the world of the dead.[b]
