1 The just have perished,but no one takes it to heart;The steadfast are swept away,while no one understands.Yet the just are taken away from the presence of evil,
2 and enter into peace;They rest upon their couches,the sincere, who walk in integrity.
3 But you, draw near,you children of a sorceress,offspring of an adulterer and a prostitute!
4 Against whom do you make sport,against whom do you open wide your mouth,and stick out your tongue?Are you not rebellious children,deceitful offspring—
5 You who burn with lust among the oaks,under every green tree;You who immolate children in the wadies,among the clefts of the rocks?
6 Among the smooth stones of the wadi is your portion,they, they are your allotment;Indeed, you poured out a drink offering to them,and brought up grain offerings.With these things, should I be appeased?
7 Upon a towering and lofty mountainyou set up your bed,and there you went up to offer sacrifice.
