The LORD calls on his people to prepare their case, and he will argue his. He had established his nation in order to declare his glory, but they had shamed him. All the animal sacrifices in the world cannot atone for that. The LORD simply wanted his people to do good works – to be just, kind, and humble before him. That would bring him glory. Instead, they followed their corrupt kings and filled the land with deceit and violence. Case closed. Punishment deserved.
LORD, we want to bring glory to your name. Teach us how to be fair, kind, and humble before your greatness.
