Insight Editorial on verse 6

They will go with their flocks and with their herds to seek Yahweh; but they won't find him. He has withdrawn himself from them." They brought animals, not repentance. It is possible to arrive with full hands and an unturned heart. Ask yourself what you are offering God instead of yourself, and whether you would notice if he stepped back.
