True "Righteous Sacrifices"
Commentators agree that "sacrifices of righteousness" means far more than just performing religious rituals. It refers to offerings made with a pure heart, right motives, and a repentant spirit. Scholars like Calvin and Gill explain this is a rebuke to hypocritical worship. True sacrifices can include prayers, praise, acts of charity, and a contrite heart—offerings that reflect a life aligned with God, not just outward ceremony.
