Isaiah 57:5 Who seek your comfort in idols under every green tree, sacrificing children in the torrents, under the high rocks?

Comfort. Hebrew, "heat," abandoning yourselves to shameful excesses. --- Torrents, to avoid being seen. Such sacrifices would have been incredible, if the Scriptures, and all history did not prove their existence, Deuteronomy 12:31., and Wisdom 12:3., and 4 Kings 23:10.
