On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, to do justly and love mercy better than thousands of rams; nay, that robbery is most of all hateful to God which is covered with this pretence, for it makes the righteous God to be the patron of unrighteousness.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

judgment--justice, which requires that I should restore My people, and give them double in compensation for their sufferings. robbery for burnt offering--rather, from a different Hebrew root, the spoil of iniquity [HORSLEY].

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

Robbery - All things gotten by injustice, though it be for sacrifice. Direct - I will lead them so, that they shall do all things in sincerity. Everlasting covenant - Though you have broken covenant with me, yet I will renew my ancient covenant made with your fathers, confirmed with the blood of Christ, and it shall be everlasting, never to be abrogated.
