Hypocrisy Exposed
Commentators stress that this verse rebukes those who maintain religious appearances while secretly approving of sin. God is not impressed by sacrifices or rituals from someone who delights in or joins with thieves and adulterers. This hypocrisy, as Albert Barnes notes, involves performing outward duties while having a heart aligned with wickedness, which God will judge.
