If you do well, shall you not be accepted? and if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And unto you shall be his desire, and you shall rule over him.
Therefore the Lord said, Seeing that this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honor me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
Then he said, I have sinned: yet honor me now, I pray you, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and come back with me, that I may worship the LORD your God.
