‘Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. For you don’t go in, and you don’t allow those entering to go in. ,
You welcome the one who joyfully does what is right; they remember you in your ways. But we have sinned, and you were angry. How can we be saved if we remain in our sins?
for your iniquities and the iniquities of your ancestors together,’ says the Lord. ‘Because they burned incense on the mountains and reproached me on the hills, I will reward them fully for their former deeds.’
