7 Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.
7 You have made your bed on a high and lofty hill; there you went up to offer your sacrifices.
7 On a high and lofty mountain you have set your bed, and there you went up to offer sacrifice.
7 You've climbed a high mountain to practice your foul sex-and-death religion.
7 "On a lofty and high mountain You have set your bed; Even there you went up To offer sacrifice.
7 You have committed adultery on every high mountain. There you have worshiped idols and have been unfaithful to me.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Isaiah 57:7
Commentary on Isaiah 57:3-12
(Read Isaiah 57:3-12)
The Lord here calls apostates and hypocrites to appear before him. When reproved for their sins, and threatened with judgments, they ridiculed the word of God. The Jews were guilty of idolatry before the captivity; but not after that affliction. Their zeal in the worship of false gods, may shame our indifference in the worship of the true God. The service of sin is disgraceful slavery; those who thus debase themselves to hell, will justly have their portion there. Men incline to a religion that inflames their unholy passions. They are led to do any evil, however great or vile, if they think it will atone for crimes, or purchase indulgence for some favourite lust. This explains idolatry, whether pagan, Jewish, or antichristian. But those who set up anything instead of God, for their hope and confidence, never will come to a right end. Those who forsake the only right way, wander in a thousand by-paths. The pleasures of sin soon tire, but never satisfy. Those who care not for the word of God and his providences, show they have no fear of God. Sin profits not; it ruins and destroys.
