Isaiah 57:5

---

← Isaiah 57:4	Isaiah 57:5 (KJV)	Isaiah 57:6 →
Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a wide mouth, [and] draw out the tongue? [are] ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood,	Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks?	Among the smooth [stones] of the stream [is] thy portion; they, they [are] thy lot: even to them hast thou poured a drink offering, thou hast offered a meat offering. Should I receive comfort in these?
