Mark 7:6

New King James Version

⁶He answered and said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you ^(A)hypocrites, as it is written:

^(B)‘This people honors Me with their lips,
But their heart is far from Me.

Isaiah 59:1-7

New King James Version

Separated from God

59 Behold, the Lord’s hand is not ^(A)shortened,
That it cannot save;
Nor His ear heavy,
That it cannot hear.
²But your iniquities have separated you from your God;
And your sins have hidden His face from you,
So that He will ^(B)not hear.
³For ^(C)your hands are defiled with ^[a]blood,
And your fingers with iniquity;
Your lips have spoken lies,
Your tongue has muttered perversity.

⁴No one calls for justice,
Nor does any plead for truth.
They trust in ^(D)empty words and speak lies;
^(E)They conceive ^[b]evil and bring forth iniquity.
⁵They hatch vipers’ eggs and weave the spider’s web;
He who eats of their eggs dies,
And from that which is crushed a viper breaks out.

⁶^(F)Their webs will not become garments,
Nor will they cover themselves with their works;
Their works are works of iniquity,
And the act of violence is in their hands.
⁷^(G)Their feet run to evil,
And they make haste to shed ^(H)innocent blood;
^(I)Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity;
Wasting and ^(J)destruction are in their paths.
