Isaiah 65:2

Judgment And Salvation

Here I am!' to a nation that did not invoke my name. ² I spread out my hands all day long to my rebellious people, who lived in a way that is morally unacceptable, and who did what they desired. ³ These people continually and blatantly offend me as they sacrifice in their sacred orchards and burn incense on brick altars.
