Why the Lord H136 said, H559 For as much H3282 H365 as this H2063 people H5971 draw near H5066 me with their mouth, H6310 and with their lips H8193 do honor H3513 me, but have removed H7368 their heart H3820 far H7368 from me, and their fear H3374 toward H854 me is taught H3925 by the precept H4687 of men: H582

Hear H8085 you this, H2063 O house H1004 of Jacob, H3290 which are called H7121 by the name H8034 of Israel, H3478 and are come H3318 forth H3318 out of the waters H4325 of Judah, H3063 which swear H7650 by the name H8034 of the LORD, H3068 and make mention H2142 of the God H430 of Israel, H3478 but not in truth, H571 nor H3808 in righteousness. H6666

For they call H7121 themselves of the holy H6944 city, H5892 and stay H5564 themselves on the God H430 of Israel; H3478 The LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 is his name. H8034

Cry H7121 aloud, H1627 spare H2820 not, lift H7311 up your voice H6963 like a trumpet, H7782 and show H5046 my people H5971 their transgression, H6588 and the house H1004 of Jacob H3290 their sins. H2403

Why H4100 have we fasted, H6684 say they, and you see H7200 not? why have we afflicted H6031 our soul, H5315 and you take no H3808 knowledge? H3045 Behold, H2005 in the day H3117 of your fast H6685 you find H4672 pleasure, H2656 and exact H5065 all H3605 your labors. H6092

Also, you son H1121 of man, H120 the children H1121 of your people H5971 still are talking H1696 against you by the walls H7023 and in the doors H6607 of the houses, H1004 and speak H1696 one H2297 to another, H259 every H376 one H376 to his brother, H251 saying, H559 Come, H935 I pray H4994 you, and hear H8085 what H4100 is the word H1697 that comes H3318 forth H3318 from the LORD. H3068

And, see, H2009 you are to them as a very H5690 lovely H5690 song H7892 of one that has a pleasant H3303 voice, H6963 and can play H5059 well on an instrument: for they hear H8085 your words, H1697 but they do H6213 them not.

Beware G4337 of false G5578 prophets, G5578 which G3748 come G2064 to you in sheep's G4263 clothing, G1742 but inwardly G2081 they are ravening G727 wolves. G3074

Woe G3759 to you, scribes G1122 and Pharisees, G5330 hypocrites! G5273 for you are like G3945 to white washed G2867 sepulchers, G5028 which G3748 indeed G3303 appear G5316 beautiful G5611 outward, G1855 but are within G2081 full G1073 of dead G3498 men's bones, G3747 and of all G3956 uncleanness. G167

Even so G3779 you also G2532 outwardly G1855 appear G5316 righteous G1342 to men, G444 but within G2081 you are full G3324 of hypocrisy G5272 and iniquity. G458

An instructor G3810 of the foolish, G878 a teacher G1320 of babes, G3516 which have G2192 the form G3446 of knowledge G1108 and of the truth G225 in the law. G3551

You that say G3004 a man should not commit G3431 adultery, G3431 do you commit G3431 adultery? G3431 you that abhor G948 idols, G1497 do you commit G2416 sacrilege? G2416

For the name G3686 of God G2316 is blasphemed G987 among G1722 the Gentiles G1484 through G1223 you, as it is written. G1125

But if G1487 any G5100 provide G4306 not for his own, G2398 and specially G3122 for those G3588 of his own G2398 house, G3609 he has denied G720 the faith, G4102 and is worse G5501 than an infidel. G571

They profess G3670 that they know G1492 God; G2316 but in works G2041 they deny G720 him, being G5607 abominable, G947 and disobedient, G545 and to every G3956 good G18 work G2041 reprobate. G96

But shun G4026 profane G952 and vain G2757 babblings: G2757 for they will increase G4298 to more G4119 ungodliness. G763

But foolish G3474 and unlearned G521 questions G2214 avoid, G3868 knowing G1492 that they do engender G1080 strifes. G3163

Now G1161 I beseech G3870 you, brothers, G80 mark G4648 them which cause G4160 divisions G1370 and offenses G4625 contrary G3844 to the doctrine G1322 which G3739 you have learned; G3129 and avoid G1578 them.

For they that are such G5108 serve G1398 not our Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 but their own G1438 belly; G2836 and by good G5542 words G5542 and fair G2129 speeches G2129 deceive G1818 the hearts G2588 of the simple. G172

That we from now on G3063 be no G3371 more G2001 children, G3516 tossed G2831 to and fro, G2831 and carried G4064 about G4064 with every G3956 wind G417 of doctrine, G1319 by the sleight G2940 of men, G444 and cunning craftiness, G3834 whereby G4314 they lie G3180 in wait G3180 to deceive; G4106

Now G1161 we command G3853 you, brothers, G80 in the name G3686 of our Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 that you withdraw G4724 yourselves from every G3956 brother G80 that walks G4043 disorderly, G814 and not after G2596 the tradition G3862 which G3739 he received G3880 of us.

And if G1487 any G5100 man obey G5219 not our word G3056 by this G3588 letter, G1992 note G4593 that man, and have G2192 no G3361 company G4874 with him, that he may be ashamed. G1788

Perverse G3859 disputings G3859 of men G444 of corrupt G1311 minds, G3563 and destitute G650 of the truth, G225 supposing G3543 that gain G4200 is godliness: G2150 from such G5108 withdraw G868 yourself.

A man G444 that is an heretic G141 after G3326 the first G3391 and second G1208 admonition G3559 reject; G3868

If G1487 there come G2064 any G5100 to you, and bring G5342 not this G5026 doctrine, G1322 receive G2983 him not into G1519 your house, G3614 neither G3366 bid G3004 him God speed: G5463

Having G2192 many G4183 things to write G1125 to you, I would G1014 not write with paper G5489 and ink: G3188 but I trust G1679 to come G2064 to you, and speak G2980 face G4750 to face, G4750 that our joy G5479 may be full. G4137
