Isaiah 57:6

Verse 6 of 21. The 57th of 66 chapters in Isaiah, in The Major Prophets.

2He enters into peace. They rest in their beds, each one who walks in his uprightness.

3“But draw near here, you sons of a sorceress, you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes.

4Whom do you mock? Against whom do you make a wide mouth and stick out your tongue? Aren’t you children of disobedience and offspring of falsehood,

5you who inflame yourselves among the oaks, under every green tree; who kill the children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?

6Among the smooth stones of the valley is your portion. They, they are your lot. You have even poured a drink offering to them. You have offered an offering. Shall I be appeased for these things?

7On a high and lofty mountain you have set your bed. You also went up there to offer sacrifice.

8You have set up your memorial behind the doors and the posts, for you have exposed yourself to someone besides me, and have gone up. You have enlarged your bed and made a covenant for yourself with them. You loved what you saw on their bed.

9You went to the king with oil, increased your perfumes, sent your ambassadors far off, and degraded yourself even to Sheol.

10You were wearied with the length of your ways; yet you didn’t say, ‘It is in vain.’ You found a reviving of your strength; therefore you weren’t faint.
