Isaiah 57:7-9
International Children’s Bible
7 You make your bed on every hill and mountain.
And there you offer sacrifices.
8 You have hidden your idols
behind your doors and doorposts.
You have left me, and you have uncovered yourself.
You have pulled back the covers and climbed into bed.
You have made an agreement with
the ones whose beds you love.
And you have looked at their nakedness.
9 You use your oils and perfumes
to look nice for Molech.
You have sent your messengers to faraway lands.
You even tried to send them to where the dead are.
Isaiah 57:7-9
New International Version
7 You have made your bed on a high and lofty hill;(A)
there you went up to offer your sacrifices.(B)
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,(C)
and you looked with lust on their naked bodies.(D)
9 You went to Molek[a](E) with olive oil
and increased your perfumes.(F)
You sent your ambassadors[b](G) far away;
you descended to the very realm of the dead!(H)
