Isaiah 57:7

_ _ Upon ... high mountain ... bed — image from adultery, open and shameless (Ezekiel 23:7); the “bed” answers to the idolatrous altar, the scene of their spiritual unfaithfulness to their divine husband (Ezekiel 16:16, Ezekiel 16:25; Ezekiel 23:41).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 57:3-12.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 57:7

Mountain — In high places, which were much used for religious worship, both by Israelites and by Heathens. Thy bed — Thine altar, in which thou didst commit spiritual whoredom with idols.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy (g) bed: even there thou wentest up to offer sacrifice.

(g) That is, your altars in an open place, like an impudent harlot, that cares not for the sight of her husband.
