‘This people honors me with their lips,
    but their heart is far from me.
7 But they worship me in vain,
    teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’Isaiah 29:13

“‘These people honor me with their lips,
    but their hearts are far from me.
7 They worship me in vain;
    their teachings are merely human rules.’[a](B)
