Is your portion;
They, they, are your lot!
Even to them you have poured a drink offering,

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.
