New International Version (NIV)

5You burn with lust among the oaks

and under every spreading tree;

you sacrifice your children in the ravines

and under the overhanging crags.

5Who inflame yourselves among the oaks,

Under every luxuriant tree,

Who slaughter the children in the 57:5 Or wadisravines,

Under the clefts of the rocks?

5 Who inflame yourselves among the oaks,

Under every luxuriant tree,

Who slaughter the children in the ravines,

Under the clefts of the crags?

5Who inflame yourselves [with lust in pagan rites] among the oaks (terebinth trees),

Under every green and leafy tree,

Who slaughter the children [in sacrifice] in the ravines

Under the clefts of the rocks?

5who burn with lust among the oaks,

under every luxuriant tree,

who slaughter your children in the valleys,

under the clefts of the rocks?

5You burn with sinful desire among the oak trees.

You worship your gods under every green tree.

You sacrifice your children in the valleys.

You also do it under the cliffs.
