Isaiah 57:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 Thou hast made thy [a]bed upon a very high mountain: thou wentest up thither, even thither wentest thou to offer sacrifice.
8 Behind the [b]doors also and posts hast thou set up thy remembrance: for thou hast discovered thyself to another, than me, and wentest up, and didst [c]enlarge thy bed, and make a covenant between thee and them, and lovedst their bed in every place where thou sawest it.
9 Thou wentest [d]to the kings with oil, and didst increase thine ointments, and send thy messengers far off, and didst humble thyself unto hell.
