Isaiah 58:2

They seek me daily. Outwardly the nation of Judah professed to follow the Lord, but inwardly they were far from Him. They held to the external forms of religion, but neglected its basic principles. They fasted and prayed, observed the Sabbath, kept the sacred feasts, brought their offerings to the Temple, and attended solemn assemblies, while they engaged in every form of iniquity (ch. 1:11-15). Theirs was an incongruous attempt to serve both God and mammon (see on Matt. 6:24-34). They professed to love the light, but chose to live in darkness (see on Matt. 6:19-23). They wanted all this world had to offer — and heaven too. They thought to enjoy the privileges of obedience, but were loath to shoulder its responsibilities (see pp. 32, 33; see on Matt. 21:28-32).
