SEV Biblia, Chapter 21:27
¶ El sacrificio de los impíos es abominación; ¡cuánto más ofreciéndolo con maldad!
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 21:27
Verse 27. When he bringeth it with a wicked mind? ] If such a person even bring the sacrifices and offerings which God requires, they are an abomination to him, because the man is wicked; and if such offerings be imperfect in themselves, or of goods ill-gotten, or offered by constraint of custom, &c., they are doubly abominable.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 27. The sacrifice of the wicked [is] abomination , etc.] 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” f588 ; 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.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 27 - When holiness is pretended, but wickedness intended, that especially is an abomination.
