Thomas Aquinas, on Isa 57:6

“In the parts of the torrent is thy portion, this is thy lot: and thou hast poured out libations to them, thou hast offered sacrifice. Shall I not be angry at these things?”

“Second, their love of sin: in the parts of the torrent is your portion, as if to say: you have reckoned this to be your lot: let none of us go without his part in luxury: let us every where leave tokens of joy: for this is our portion, and this our lot (Wis 2:9). Third, their offering of sacrifice: and you have poured out libations, as to moist things, you have offered sacrifice, as to dry things, above: you shall be confounded for [your] idols (Isa 1:29). Fourth, the just anger of God: shall I not be angry at these things? Shall I not visit for these things, says the Lord? (Jer 5:9).”
