Douay Rheims Original ↷
Isaiah 57 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷
4 Upon whom have you jested? Upon whom have you opened your mouth awide, and thrust out the tongue? Are not you wicked children, a lying seed?
5 Which take comfort in the gods under every thick green tree, immolating your little ones in the torrents, under the high rocks?
6 In the parts of the torrent is thy part, this is thy lot: and thou hast poured out libament to them, thou hast offered sacrifice, shall I not take indignation of these things?
7 Upon an high and lofty mountain thou hast laid thy bed, and hast gone up thither to immolate hosts.
8 And behind the door, and behind the post thou hast set thy memorial: because thou hast discovered thy self near me, and hast received an adulterer, thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made a covenant with them: thou hast loved their couch with open hand.
9 And thou hast adorned thy self with royal ointment, and hast multiplied the gay paintings. Thou didst send thy legates far off, & wast humbled even to hell.
10 In the multitude of thy way thou hast laboured; thou saidst not: I will rest: thou hast found life of thine own hand, therefore thou hast not asked.
11 For whom, with careful reverence, hast thou feared, whereas thou hast lied, & hast not been mindful of me, nor thought on me in thy heart? Because I am holding my peace, and as it were not seeing, and thou hast forgotten me.
