Isaiah 65:7

New International Reader's Version

I will punish them for their sins. I will also punish them for the sins of their people before them.” This is what the Lord says. “They burned sacrifices on the mountains. They disobeyed me by worshiping other gods on the hills. So I will make sure they are fully punished for all the sins they have committed.”
