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.
⁶ The idols^(H) among the smooth stones of the ravines are your portion;
    indeed, they are your lot.
Yes, to them you have poured out drink offerings^(I)
    and offered grain offerings.
    In view of all this, should I relent?^(J)
7 You have made your bed on a high and lofty hill;^(K)
    there you went up to offer your sacrifices.^(L)
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,^(M)
    and you looked with lust on their naked bodies.^(N)
9 You went to Molek^[a](O) with olive oil
    and increased your perfumes.^(P)
You sent your ambassadors^[b](Q) far away;
    you descended to the very realm of the dead!^(R)

²⁰ “Long ago you broke off your yoke^(A)
    and tore off your bonds;^(B)
    you said, ‘I will not serve you!’^(C)
Indeed, on every high hill^(D)
    and under every spreading tree^(E)
    you lay down as a prostitute.^(F)
