Isaiah 57:3-5
EasyEnglish Bible
3 The Lord says,
‘But you magicians, come here!
You use magic to learn about future times.
You are the family of an adulteress and a prostitute.
4 Who do you think you are laughing at?
Who are you insulting?
Who are you pointing at with your tongue?
You are people who have turned against God.
You love to tell lies.
5 You worship your idols among the big trees,
and you have sex at the same time.[a]
You kill your children as sacrifices to your false gods.
You do that beside streams
and in caves among the rocks.
Footnotes
- 57:5 They worshipped false gods that they thought would give them many children. So they had sex in a wrong way when they met together.
Isaiah 57:3-5
New International Version
3 “But you—come here, you children of a sorceress,(A)
you offspring of adulterers(B) and prostitutes!(C)
4 Who are you mocking?
At whom do you sneer
and stick out your tongue?
Are you not a brood of rebels,(D)
the offspring of liars?
5 You burn with lust among the oaks(E)
and under every spreading tree;(F)
you sacrifice your children(G) in the ravines
and under the overhanging crags.
