Spreuken 21:27 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 21:27

The sacrifice of the wicked [is] abomination
That is, to the Lord, as in ( Proverbs 15:8 ) ; and as it is here added in the Septuagint and Arabic versions; how much more, [when] he bringeth it with a wicked mind?
the Arabic version is, "with a mind alien from the law"; or when it is not brought according to law; when it is a corrupt thing, that which is torn, lame, or sick, or robbery for burnt sacrifice; when it is done with an evil intention, to cover sin, to atone for without repenting of it or forsaking it; that they may go on in sin with impunity, and be allowed to commit it; for which cause Balak and Balsam offered sacrifices, which is the instance Jarchi produces; and indeed every religious action not done in faith, and love, and sincerity, and with a view to the glory of God, but in hypocrisy and with selfish views, in order to procure acceptance with God and justification in his sight; setting aside the righteousness, sacrifice, and satisfaction of the son of God, is done with a wicked mind, and is an abomination to the Lord. Some render it, "even though he brings it diligently", or "with great art and skill" F9; is constant at his devotion, and carries it so artfully, and with such a show of religion, as to deceive men, yet he cannot deceive the Lord.

Spreuken 21:27 In-Context

25 De begeerte des luiaards zal hem doden, want zijn handen weigeren te werken.
26 Den gansen dag begeert hij begeerlijke dingen; maar de rechtvaardige zal geven, en niet inhouden.
27 Het offer der goddelozen is een gruwel; hoeveel te meer, als zij het met een schandelijk voornemen brengen!
28 Een leugenachtig getuige zal vergaan; en een man, die hoort, zal spreken tot overwinning.
29 Een goddeloos man sterkt zich in zijn aangezicht; maar de oprechte, die maakt zijn weg vast.
