⁴ Who are you mocking?
    At whom do you sneer
    and stick out your tongue?
Are you not a brood of rebels,^(A)
    the offspring of liars?
⁵ You burn with lust among the oaks^(B)
    and under every spreading tree;^(C)
you sacrifice your children^(D) in the ravines
    and under the overhanging crags.
⁶ The idols^(E) among the smooth stones of the ravines are your portion;
    indeed, they are your lot.
Yes, to them you have poured out drink offerings^(F)
    and offered grain offerings.
    In view of all this, should I relent?^(G)
7 You have made your bed on a high and lofty hill;^(H)
    there you went up to offer your sacrifices.^(I)
8 Behind your doors and your doorposts
    you have put your pagan symbols.
Forsaking me, you uncovered your bed,
    you climbed into it and opened it wide;
you made a pact with those whose beds you love,^(J)
    and you looked with lust on their naked bodies.^(K)
9 You went to Molek^[a](L) with olive oil
    and increased your perfumes.^(M)
You sent your ambassadors^[b](N) far away;
    you descended to the very realm of the dead!^(O)
10 You wearied^(P) yourself by such going about,
    but you would not say, ‘It is hopeless.’^(Q)
You found renewal of your strength,^(R)
    and so you did not faint.

¹¹ “Whom have you so dreaded and feared^(S)
    that you have not been true to me,
and have neither remembered^(T) me
    nor taken this to heart?^(U)
Is it not because I have long been silent^(V)
    that you do not fear me?
