Behind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up thy remembrance: for thou hast discovered thyself to another than me, and art gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made thee a covenant with them; thou lovedst their bed where thou sawest it.

The verse 8 is found in chapter 57 of Isaiah. The chapter denounces idolatry and corrupt religious practices in Israel, but also promises comfort to the humble and contrite. God dwells with the brokenhearted, so divine transcendence does not imply distance from human suffering. The absence of peace for the wicked closes the section by reminding us that restoration does not eliminate moral responsibility.

Und hinter die Tür und den Pfosten setzest du dein Denkmal. Denn du wendest dich von mir und gehst hinauf und machst dein Lager weit und verbindest dich mit ihnen; du liebst ihr Lager, wo du sie ersiehst.
Y tras la puerta y el umbral pusiste tu recuerdo: porque a otro que a mí te descubriste, y subiste, y ensanchaste tu cama, e hiciste con ellos alianza: amaste su cama donde quiera que la veías.
Tu mets ton souvenir derrière la porte et les poteaux; Car, loin de moi, tu lèves la couverture et tu montes, Tu élargis ta couche, et tu traites alliance avec eux, Tu aimes leur commerce, tu choisis une place.
Ed hai messa la tua ricordanza dietro all’uscio, e dietro allo stipite; conciossiachè tu ti sii scoperta, sviandoti da me; e sii salita, ed abbi allargato il tuo letto, ed abbi fatto patto con alcuni di coloro; tu hai amata la lor giacitura, tu hai spiato il luogo.
E detrás das portas, e dos umbrais puseste o teu memorial; pois te descobriste a outros que não a mim, e subiste, alargaste a tua cama, e fizeste aliança com alguns deles; amaste a sua cama, onde quer que a viste.
你在門後,在門框後, 立起你的牌來; 你離棄了我,赤露己身, 又爬上自己所鋪寬闊的床鋪, 與它們立約; 你喜愛它們的床,看著它們的赤體 。
