Israel’s Idolatry

But you—come here,
    you children of witches,
        you descendants of adulterers and prostitutes!
Whom are you making fun of?
    Whom are you making a face at?
    Whom are you sticking out your tongue at?
    Aren’t you rebellious children,
        descendants of liars?
You burn with lust under oak trees
    and under every large tree.
    You slaughter children in the valleys
    and under the cracks in the rocks.

    At whom do you sneer
    and stick out your tongue?
Are you not a brood of rebels,(D)
    the offspring of liars?
You burn with lust among the oaks(E)
    and under every spreading tree;(F)
you sacrifice your children(G) in the ravines
    and under the overhanging crags.
