39 And the Lord said to him, (A)“Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of (B)greed and wickedness. 40 (C)You fools! (D)Did not he who made the outside make the inside also? 41 But (E)give as alms those things that are within, and behold, (F)everything is clean for you.
42 (G)“But woe to you Pharisees! For (H)you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and neglect (I)justice and (J)the love of God. (K)These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. 43 Woe to you Pharisees! For (L)you love the best seat in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces. 44 Woe to you! (M)For you are like unmarked graves, and people walk over them without knowing it.”
45 One of (N)the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying these things you insult us also.” 46 And he said, “Woe to you (O)lawyers also! For (P)you load people with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers. 47 (Q)Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets whom your fathers killed. 48 (R)So you are witnesses and you (S)consent to the deeds of (T)your fathers, for they killed them, and you build their tombs. 49 Therefore also (U)the Wisdom of God said, (V)‘I will send them (W)prophets and apostles, (X)some of whom they will (Y)kill and persecute,’ 50 so that (Z)the blood of all the prophets, shed (AA)from the foundation of the world, may be (AB)charged against this generation, 51 from the blood of (AC)Abel to the blood of (AD)Zechariah, who perished between (AE)the altar and the sanctuary.

and (K)Israel must go into exile
away from his land.’”
12 And Amaziah said to Amos, (L)“O seer, go, flee away (M)to the land of Judah, and (N)eat bread there, and prophesy there, 13 but (O)never again prophesy at Bethel, for (P)it is the king's sanctuary, and it is a temple of the kingdom.”
