Isaiah 65:3

Judgment And Salvation

² All day long I held out my hands to an obstinate people, who walk in ways not good, pursuing their own imaginations (thoughts), ³ A people who continually provoke Me to My face,
Offering sacrifices in gardens and burning incense on bricks;
⁴ They sit among the graves and spend their nights keeping secret vigil. They eat the flesh of pigs. Their pots are full of unclean meat.
