You have spread out your beds
on the tops of high mountains,
    where you sacrifice to idols.
Even in your homes
you have placed pagan symbols
    all around your huge beds.
Yes, you have rejected me,
sold yourselves to your lovers,
    and gone to bed with them.[a]

You smear on olive oil
and all kinds of perfume
    to worship the god Molech.[b]
You even seek advice
    from spirits of the dead.
