Isaiah 1:14 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 1:14

Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth,
&c.] The Targum is,

``my Word abhorreth;''
the Messiah, the essential Word. These are the same as before. They are a trouble unto me;
as they were kept and observed, either when they should not, or in a manner unbecoming: I am weary to bear [them];
because of the sins with which they made him to serve, ( Isaiah 43:24 ) .

14 Everything in me hates your Rosh-Hodesh and your festivals; they are a burden to me - I'm tired of putting up with them!
15 "When you spread out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; no matter how much you pray, I won't be listening; because your hands are covered with blood.
16 "Wash yourselves clean! Get your evil deeds out of my sight! Stop doing evil,
