Isaiah 58:2

Yet they seek Me daily, the very Lord whom they have rejected, and delight to know My ways, pretending an earnestness which they are far from feeling, inquiring into the reason for God's manner of dealing with them, as a nation that did righteousness, as though they were a nation practicing the covenant righteousness required of them, and forsook not the ordinance of their God, just as if they had upheld their end of the covenant; they ask of Me the ordinances of justice, literally, "the judgments of righteousness," namely, that the Lord should interfere in their behalf; they take delight in approaching to God, pleading for their own deliverance and the destruction of their enemies.
