KJV ORIGINAL
They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat it; but the LORD accepteth them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
They're going through the motions of offering sacrifices to me, cooking up the meat and having their little feasts. But I'm not accepting any of it. I see right through the performance — I haven't forgotten the mess they've made, and I'm going to deal with their wrongs. They're going to end up right back where they started, like slaves in Egypt all over again.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
God sees when we're just performing instead of actually connecting with him.
