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:
I also will do this to you; I will even appoint over you terror, a wasting disease, and the burning fever, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.
You have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts?
Do not be carried about with various and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing for the heart to be established with grace, not with foods, which have not benefited those who have been occupied with them.
For I testify to every person that hears the words of the prophecy of this book, If anyone shall add to these things, God shall add to him the plagues that are written in this book:
Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that belonged to him: and he has repaid me evil for good.
