"You have put your bed on a high mountain: there you went up to make your offering."
— Isaiah 57:7, Bible in Basic English
“Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.”
Of whom do you make sport? against whom is your mouth open wide and your tongue put out? are you not uncontrolled children, a false seed,
You who are burning with evil desire among the oaks, under every green tree; putting children to death in the valleys, under the cracks of the rocks?
Among the smooth stones of the valley is your heritage; they, even they, are your part: even to them have you made a drink offering and a meal offering. Is it possible for such things to be overlooked by me?
You have put your bed on a high mountain: there you went up to make your offering.
And on the back of the doors and on the pillars you have put your sign: for you have been false to me with another; you have made your bed wide, and made an agreement with them; you had a desire for their bed where you saw it
And you went to Melech with oil and much perfume, and you sent your representatives far off, and went as low as the underworld.
You were tired with your long journeys; but you did not say, There is no hope: you got new strength, and so you were not feeble.
