‘This people honors me with their lips,

but their heart ¹  is far from me.

7:7 They worship me in vain,

teaching as doctrine the commandments of men.’ ² 

7:8 Having no regard ³  for the command of God, you hold fast to human tradition.” ⁴  7:9 He also said to them, “You neatly reject the commandment of God in order to set up ⁵  your tradition. 7:10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ ⁶  and, ‘Whoever insults his father or mother must be put to death.’ ⁷  7:11 But you say that if anyone tells his father or mother, ‘Whatever help you would have received from me is corban’ ⁸  (that is, a gift for God), 7:12 then you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother. 7:13 Thus you nullify ⁹  the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like this.”
