³ “Come here, you magicians!
    Come here, you children of prostitutes and those who take part in adultery!
⁴ Of whom are you making fun?
    Whom are you insulting?
    At whom do you stick out your tongue?
You turn against God,
    and you are liars.
⁵ You have sexual relations under every green tree
    to worship your gods.
You kill children in the ravines
    and sacrifice them in the rocky places.
⁶ You take the smooth rocks from the ravines
    as your portion.
You pour drink offerings on them to worship them,
    and you give grain offerings to them.
    Do you think this makes me want to show you mercy?
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 those 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 the place of the dead.
¹⁰ You were tired from doing these things,
    but you never gave up.
You found new strength,
    so you did not quit.

¹¹ “Whom were you so afraid of
    that you lied to me?
You have not remembered me
    or even thought about me.
I have been quiet for a long time.
    Is that why you are not afraid of me?
¹² I will tell about your ‘goodness’ and what you do,
    and those things will do you no good.
¹³ When you cry out for help,
    let the gods you have gathered help you.
The wind will blow them all away;
    just a puff of wind will take them away.
But the person who depends on me will receive the land
    and own my holy mountain.”
