Isaiah 57:4-6

New International Reader's Version

⁴ Who are you making fun of?
    Who are you laughing at?
    Who are you sticking your tongue out at?
You are people who refuse to obey me.
    You are just a bunch of liars!
⁵ You burn with sinful desire among the oak trees.
    You worship your gods under every green tree.
You sacrifice your children in the valleys.
    You also do it under the cliffs.
⁶ You have chosen some of the smooth stones in the valleys to be your gods.
    You have joined yourselves to them.
You have even poured out drink offerings to them.
    You have given grain offerings to them.
    So why should I take pity on you?
