Athanasius of Alexandria, on Isa 1:13
Athanasius of Alexandria · c. A.D. 296–373
Isa 1:13 · Douay-Rheims
“Offer sacrifice no more in vain: incense is an abomination to me. The new moons, and the sabbaths, and other festivals I will not abide, your assemblies are wicked.”
On this verse:
“For actions not done lawfully and piously are not of advantage, though they may be reputed to be so, but they rather argue hypocrisy in those who venture upon them. Therefore, although such persons feign to offer sacrifices, yet they hear from the Father, "Your whole burnt offerings are not acceptable, and your sacrifices do not please me"; and although you bring fine flour, it is vanity; incense also is an abomination to me."”
