Isaiah 57:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 Thy portion is in the smooth stones [a]of the river: they, they are thy lot: even to them hast thou poured a drink offering: thou hast offered a sacrifice. Should I delight in [b]these?
7 Thou hast made thy [c]bed upon a very high mountain: thou wentest up thither, even thither wentest thou to offer sacrifice.
8 Behind the [d]doors also and posts hast thou set up thy remembrance: for thou hast discovered thyself to another, than me, and wentest up, and didst [e]enlarge thy bed, and make a covenant between thee and them, and lovedst their bed in every place where thou sawest it.
