Isaiah 57:5. Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks?
The Lord had said that they should offer sacrifice only on one altar at Jerusalem, and this to him alone, but they had set up altars under all the ancient oaks to worship all sorts of gods. In addition to this, they had gone so far after the cruel way of the Pagans, that they offered their own children in sacrifice in the valleys, under the cliffs and the rocks.
