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 requires of you this trampling of my courts?
13 Bring no more vain offerings; incense is an abomination to me. New moon and sabbath and the calling of assemblies--I cannot endure iniquity and solemn assembly.
14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hates; they have become a burden to me, I am weary of bearing them.
15 When you spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I will not listen; your hands are full of blood.
16 Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil,
