TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

Religious Hypocrisy

Religious hypocrisy can result from selective obedience, from lip service to God’s law without a change of heart and life to back it up. People who parade their piety for others to see often have little desire to truly obey God.

Isaiah preached to what seemed to be a very religious people. They fasted, said prayers, celebrated holy days, and brought their sacrifices to Jerusalem. Yet God rejected these practices. Why? These acts had value—the Lord himself had prescribed them! But the people’s worship was not from the heart, and it was not accompanied by the personal holiness and social justice that God requires (see, e.g., Lev 19:13-17). The people of Judah had fallen into the trap of religious hypocrisy.

Many years after Isaiah, Jesus confronted this kind of hypocrisy in the Pharisees. He challenged them to be better doers of God’s whole revelation rather than just the parts that brought them acclaim (Matt 23:1-36, especially Matt 23:23). The apostles Paul and James also distinguished between mere religiosity and true spirituality (1 Cor 3:1-23; Jas 1:21–2:13). Jesus’ rebuke of the Pharisees also serves as a warning to us: We are not to be like them (see Matt 6:1-18; 1 Pet 2:1). Instead, Jesus calls us to be authentic before God and with others, to obey his entire word, and to go beyond mere formalities and appearances in our devotion to God.

(Occurrence 0) Bring no more meaningless offerings

(Some words not found in UHB: not continue bringing offerings futile incense abomination she/it to=me new_moon and,sabbath calling convocation not endure iniquity and,solemn_assembly )

Alternate translation: “Do not bring me any more of your worthless gifts”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

(Occurrence 0) incense is an abomination to me

(Some words not found in UHB: not continue bringing offerings futile incense abomination she/it to=me new_moon and,sabbath calling convocation not endure iniquity and,solemn_assembly )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word abomination, you can express the same idea with the verb “hate.” Alternate translation: “I hate the incense the priests burn”

(Occurrence 0) I cannot tolerate these wicked assemblies

(Some words not found in UHB: not continue bringing offerings futile incense abomination she/it to=me new_moon and,sabbath calling convocation not endure iniquity and,solemn_assembly )

This could mean: (1) “I cannot allow you to gather together because of the wicked things you do” or (2) “I cannot allow myself to watch you gather together because of the wicked things you do.”
