4 Whom do you ridicule?
Against whom do you make a wide mouth
And stick out the tongue?
Are you not children of transgression,
Offspring of falsehood,
Against whom do you make a wide mouth
And stick out the tongue?
Are you not children of transgression,
Offspring of falsehood,
5 Inflaming yourselves with gods aunder every green tree,
bSlaying the children in the valleys,
Under the clefts of the rocks?

6 Among the smooth astones of the stream
Is your portion;
They, they, are your lot!
Even to them you have poured a drink offering,
You have offered a grain offering.
Should I receive comfort in bthese?

8 Also behind the doors and1 their posts
You have set up your remembrance;
For you have uncovered yourself to those other than Me,
And have gone up to them;
You have enlarged your bed
And made a covenant with them;
aYou have loved their bed,
Where you saw their1 nudity.

9 aYou went to the king with ointment,
And increased your perfumes;
You sent your bmessengers far off,
And even descended to Sheol.
