Isaiah 57:5-10

5 you who burn with lust among ^cthe oaks, ^{▼▼Or among the terebinths}
under every green tree,
^ewho slaughter your children in the valleys,
under the clefts of the rocks?
6 Among the smooth stones of ^fthe valley is your portion;
they, they, are your lot;
to them you have poured out a drink offering,
you have brought a grain offering.
Shall I relent for these things?
7 ^gOn a high and lofty mountain
you have set your bed,
and there you went up to offer sacrifice.
8 Behind the door and the doorpost
you have set up your memorial;
for, deserting me, ^hyou have uncovered your bed,
you have gone up to it,
ⁱyou have made it wide;
and you have made a covenant for yourself with them,
you have loved their bed,
you have looked on nakedness. ^{▼▼Or on a monument (see 56:5); Hebrew on a hand}
9 You journeyed to the king with oil
and multiplied your perfumes;
^kyou sent your envoys far off,
and sent down even to Sheol.
10 You were wearied with the length of your way,
^lbut you did not say, “It is hopeless”;
you found new life for your strength,
and so you were not faint. ^{▼▼Hebrew and so you were not sick}

Jeremiah 2:28

28 But ⁿwhere are your gods
that you made for yourself?
Let them arise, ^oif they can save you,
in your time of trouble;
for ^pas many as your cities
are your gods, O Judah.

Ezekiel 23:41-42

41 You sat on ^qa stately couch, with a table spread before it ^ron which you had placed my incense and ^smy oil. 42 The ^tsound of a carefree multitude was with her; and with men of the common sort, drunkards ^{▼▼Or Sabeans} were brought from the wilderness; and they put ^vbracelets on the hands of the women, and ^wbeautiful crowns on their heads.

1 Corinthians 10:20-21

20 No, I imply that what pagans sacrifice ^xthey offer to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be participants with demons. 21 ^yYou cannot drink the cup of the Lord and ^zthe cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and ^aathe table of demons.
