Isaiah 1:14

14 Your new moons and your appointed festivals my soul hates; they have become to me like [a] burden, I am not able to bear [them].

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 ) .

Isaiah 1:14 In-Context

12 When you come to appear before me, who asked for this from your hand: you trampling my courts?
13 You must not {continue} to bring offerings of futility, incense--it [is] an abomination to me; new moon and Sabbath, [the] calling of a convocation-- I cannot endure iniquity with [solemn] assembly.
14 Your new moons and your appointed festivals my soul hates; they have become to me like [a] burden, I am not able to bear [them].
15 And when you stretch out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I [will] not be listening. Your hands are full of blood.
16 Wash! Make yourselves clean! Remove the evil of your doings from before my eyes! Cease to do evil!
