(Isa 1:2). fruit of . . . thoughts-- (Pro 1:31). nor to my law, but rejected it--literally, "and (as to) My law they have rejected it." The same construction occurs in Gen 22:24. Literally, "To what purpose is this to Me, that incense cometh to Me?" incense . . . cane-- (Isa 43:24; Isa 60:6). No external services are accepted by God without obedience of the heart and life (Jer 7:21; Psa 50:7-9; Isa 1:11; Mic 6:6, &c.). sweet . . . sweet--antithesis. Your sweet cane is not sweet to Me. The calamus.
