Who do you think you are laughing at?
    Who are you insulting?
    Who are you pointing at with your tongue?
You are people who have turned against God.
    You love to tell lies.
You worship your idols among the big trees,
    and you have sex at the same time.[a]
You kill your children as sacrifices to your false gods.
You do that beside streams
    and in caves among the rocks.
You take big stones from the streams,
    and they become your idols.
They are the gods that you love to worship.
You pour drink offerings over them.
    You offer grain to them.
Because of what you do,
    should I not punish you?
