Isaiah 57:7-8
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
7 Upon a towering and lofty mountain
you set up your bed,
and there you went up to offer sacrifice.(A)
8 Behind the door and the doorpost
you set up your symbol.
Yes, deserting me, you carried up your bedding;
and spread it wide.
You entered an agreement with them,
you loved their couch, you gazed upon nakedness.[a]

- 57:8 Nakedness: literally in Hebrew, “hand.” In this context, it may euphemistically refer to a phallus.
