Destroy completely all the places where the nations you are dispossessing have served their gods—atop the high mountains, on the hills, and under every green tree.

They also built for themselves high places, sacred pillars, and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree.

And he sacrificed and burned incense on the high places, on the hills, and under every green tree.

They set up for themselves sacred pillars and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree.

And he sacrificed and burned incense on the high places, on the hills, and under every green tree.

It will be paid in full before his time, and his branch will not flourish.

I have seen a wicked, ruthless man flourishing like a well-rooted native tree,

But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in the loving devotion of God forever and ever.

But You have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox; with fine oil I have been anointed.

In old age they will still bear fruit; healthy and green they will remain,

How handsome you are, my beloved! Oh, how delightful! The soft grass is our bed.

…who burn with lust among the oaks, under every luxuriant tree, who slaughter your children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?

“For long ago you broke your yoke and tore off your chains, saying, ‘I will not serve!’ Indeed, on every high hill and under every green tree you lay down as a prostitute.

Now in the days of King Josiah, the LORD said to me, “Have you seen what faithless Israel has done? She has gone up on every high hill and under every green tree to prostitute herself there.

Only acknowledge your guilt, that you have rebelled against the LORD your God. You have scattered your favors to foreign gods under every green tree and have not obeyed My voice,’” declares the LORD.

The LORD once called you a flourishing olive tree, beautiful with well-formed fruit. But with a mighty roar He will set it on fire, and its branches will be consumed.

Even their children remember their altars and Asherah poles by the green trees and on the high hills.

He is like a tree planted by the waters that sends out its roots toward the stream. It does not fear when the heat comes, and its leaves are always green. It does not worry in a year of drought, nor does it cease to produce fruit.

Then you will know that I am the LORD, when their slain lie among their idols around their altars, on every high hill, on all the mountaintops, and under every green tree and leafy oak—the places where they offered fragrant incense to all their idols.

O Ephraim, what have I to do anymore with idols? It is I who answer and watch over him. I am like a flourishing cypress; your fruit comes from Me.
