THE PROSTITUTION OF THE CHURCH OF GOD

ISAIAH 57
1 :    THE RIGHTEOUS perish, and no one is concerned; all who are LOYAL TO THEIR FAITH
        are swept away and no one give it a thought.
        THE RIGHTEOUS are swept away by THE ONSET OF EVIL;
2 :    those who have FOLLOWED A STRAIGHT COURSE shall ACHIEVE PEACE at the last,
        as they lie on their deathbeds.
3 :    COME NEAR YOU CHILDREN OF A SOOTHSAYER (sons of the sorceress).YOU SPAWN
        OF AN ADULTERER AND A HARLOT (the seed of the adulterer and the whore),
4 :    AGAINST WHOM DO YOU SPORT YOURSELVES?
        AGAINST WHOM DO YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTHS AND STICK OUT YOUR
        TONGUES? ARE YOU NOT CHILDREN OF TRANSGRESSION, A SEED OF FALSE-
        HOOD ?
5 :    YOU ARE BURNING WITH LUST (enflaming yourselves with idols) UNDER THE
        SACRED OAKS, UNDER EVERY SPREADING TREE,  AND SACRIFICING CHILDREN
        IN THE VALLEYS (wadis),  UNDER THE ROCKY CLEFTS.
6 :    AMONG THE SMOOTH STONES OF THE STREAM IS YOUR PORTION;  THEY,
        THEY ARE YOUR LOT ( and you, woman, your place is with the deceitful gods of the wadi;
        that is where you belong); EVEN TO THEM HAVE YOU POURED A DRINK OFFERING,
        YOU HAVE OFFERED A MEAT OFFERING ( and presented an offering of grain).
        SHOULD I RECEIVE COMFORT IN THESE?
7 :    ON A HIGH MOUNTAINTOP YOU HAVE MADE YOUR BED; THERE TO YOU HAVE  
        GONE UP TO OFFER SACRIFICE.
8 :    BEHIND THE DOORS ALSO AND THE POSTS YOU HAVE PUT UP YOUR SIGN.
        DESERTING ME,  YOU HAVE STRIPPED AND LAIN DOWN ON THE WIDE BED
        WHICH YOU HAVE MADE;  YOU DROVE BARGAINS WITH MEN FOR THE
        PLEASURE OF SLEEPING TOGETHER AND MAKING LOVE.
9 :    AND YOU WENT TO THE KING WITH OINTMENT, AND DID INCREASE YOUR
        PERFUMES,  AND DID SEND YOUR MESSENGERS FAR OFF,  AND DID DEBASE
        YOURSELF EVEN UNTO HELL.
