Against
whom do
you sport
yourselves
? against
whom make
you a
wide
mouth,
and put
out the
tongue? Aren't
you children of disobedience
, a
seed
of falsehood
,
Whom are
you mocking
? At
whom do
you snarl
and stick
out your
tongue? Are
you not
children of transgression
, offspring
of deceit
,
you
who inflame
yourselves
among the oaks, under every green
tree ;
who kill
the
children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?

with
lust
among the oaks, under every luxuriant
tree ,
who slaughter
your
children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?

have
offered an
offering. Shall
I be
appeased
for
these things
?
Your
portion

these?

Behind the doors
and the
posts
have
you set up your memorial :
for
you
have
uncovered
[yourself]
to
another

are
gone
up;
you have
enlarged
your bed ,
and made
you a covenant
with them:
you loved their
bed
where
you saw
it
.

Me, you uncovered

yourself

faint

me ,

laid
it
to your
heart? Haven't

my
peace
even
of
long time,

you don't
fear me?

silent
that
you do
not
fear Me?

inherit

One
who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the
high and holy place, with him

forever, neither
will I be
always angry; for the spirit would faint
before me, and
the souls
who
I have made.

angry; for then
the spirit of
man
would grow
weak
before Me, with
the breath
of
those
I have made.

covetousness

backsliding
in
the way
of his heart.

of
the
lips :

to him
who
is
far off
and to
him
who
is
near, says Yahweh;
and I will heal him
.

to
their
lips .

up mire and dirt
