You have placed your bed
on a high and lofty mountain;(A)
you also went up there to offer sacrifice.
You have set up your memorial
behind the door and doorpost.
For away from Me, you stripped,
went up, and made your bed wide,(B)
and you have made a bargain[a] for yourself with them.
You have loved their bed;
you have gazed on their genitals.[b][c]
You went to the king with oil
and multiplied your perfumes;
you sent your couriers far away(C)
and sent them down even to Sheol.
