But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of Heaven before men; for you do not enter, nor do you allow those entering to go in.
You meet him who rejoices and works righteousness; they remember You in Your ways. Behold, You were angry, for we sinned. In them is eternity, we shall be saved.
Call out with the throat; do not spare. Lift up your voice like the rams` horn! And declare to My people their transgressions, and their sins to the house of Jacob.
your iniquities and the iniquities of your fathers together, says Jehovah; they that burned incense on the mountains, and have blasphemed Me on the hills. And I will measure their former work on their bosom.
Those who form a carved image are all of them vanity. And their delights do not profit; and they are their own witnesses. They do not see, and not do know, that they may be ashamed.
Every man is being stupid from lack of knowledge; every refiner is put to shame by the carved image. For his molten image is a lie and no breath is in them.
