Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 21:27

27 The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more when he bringeth it with a wicked mind!

All the most glorious and costly services which they offer to God.

God rejects and abhors them, because they are offered by such men, and in such manner as God justly abhors.

Or, because, as all the antient Translators render it, the Hebrew particle, aph, being expletive: Or, even because; so the following clause gives the reason of the former Proposition.

With an hypocritical and impenitent Heart, or with a bad design, not in obedience to Gods Command, and with respect to his honour and service, but either to cover, or countenance, or promote some wicked intention or course, which, notwithstanding all his professions of Religion, he is resolved to prosecute.
