כִּ֣י תָבֹ֔אוּ לֵרָא֖וֹת פָּנָ֑י מִי־בִקֵּ֥שׁ זֹ֛את מִיֶּדְכֶ֖ם רְמֹ֥ס חֲצֵרָֽי׃
When ye come to appear before Me, Who hath required this at your hand, To trample My courts?
Rashi on Isaiah
who requested this of you, to trample My courts to trample [the preposition is absent in the Hebrew] My courts, since your heart is not whole with Me.

Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
לפני═פני Before me; it is not the object of לֵרָאוֹח ‘ to be seen.’32פעול, object, is the person or thing to which the action is directed; the verb may be active or passive; e.g., לראות פני, according to this opinion, rejected by I. E., When my face is seen; ‘my face’ is called object, though the nominative case. Comp. I. E. on Exod. 23:15.
