He states that their offerings and rituals, such as observing the new moon, Sabbath, and calling of convocations, are meaningless to him because they are accompanied by iniquity. The mention of incense implies that the people were using it as a form of worship, but God sees through their external actions and desires true repentance and righteousness instead.Rate this question:
