God doesn't care about your words or deeds if your heart isn't in it. It is like a husband or wife coming home from an affair, which the spouse knows happened, and says I love only you and brings a box of chocolates. The problem isn't with the action of bringing flowers or the words of affection, the problem is the attitude of the heart. God points out that the people have been saying the right things and doing many of the right actions but their hearts aren't in it. The people of Israel are in love with other gods. The question we have to ask ourselves is, "Where is my heart?, Do I really love and serve God?"
