Commentary on Isaiah 1:11
God's rhetorical question demolishes empty ritualism. The multiplication of sacrifices without heart obedience repulses rather than pleases God. The Hebrew 'hefets' (delight) indicates God's positive pleasure is absent when worship divorced from obedience continues. This anticipates Samuel's principle: 'to obey is better than sacrifice' (1 Samuel 15:22) and Jesus's critique of Pharisaic religion.
