CHAPTER 33

31 And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they ^ahear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their ^bmouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their ^ccovetousness.

b	Isa. 29: 13. 13 ¶ Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people ^adraw near me with their ^bmouth, and with their lips do ^chonour me, but have ^dremoved their ^eheart far from me, and their ^ffear toward me is taught by the ^gprecept of men: Matt. 15: 8 (7-8) 8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their ^amouth, and ^bhonoureth me with their lips; but their ^cheart is far from me. Luke 6: 46. 46 ¶ And why ^acall ye me, ^bLord, Lord, and ^cdo not the things which I say?
