Isaiah 57:7

---

← Isaiah 57:6	Isaiah 57:7 (KJV)	Isaiah 57:8 →
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?	Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.	Behind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up thy remembrance: for thou hast discovered [thyself to another] than me, and art gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made thee [a covenant] with them; thou lovedst their bed where thou sawest [it].
