For day after day they seek me out; they seem eager to know my ways, as if they were a nation that does what is right and has not forsaken the commands of its God. They ask me for just decisions and seem eager for God to come near them.

Day after day they worship me. They seem ready and willing to know how I want them to live. They act as if they were a nation that does what is right.

主说：“因这百姓以口亲近我，用嘴唇尊敬我，心却远离我；他们敬畏我，不过是领受前人的命令。

他们宣称认识神，却在行为上否认他；他们是可憎恶的，是悖逆的，不配做任何好事。

假冒为善的人哪！以赛亚指着你们所预言的说得好：‘这百姓用嘴唇尊敬我，他们的心却远离我。他们把人的规条当作教义教导人；他们拜我也是枉然。’”

雅各家，称为以色列名下，从犹大的源头而出的啊，你们指着耶和华的名起誓，提说以色列的神，却不凭诚信，也不凭公义；你们自称为圣城之民，倚靠名为万军之耶和华—以色列的神；现在，当听我言：

所以，你们要除去一切的污秽和累积的恶毒，要存温柔的心领受所栽种的道，就是能救你们灵魂的道。但是，你们要作行道的人，不要只作听道的人，自己欺骗自己。

约翰是点亮的明灯，你们情愿因他的光欢欣一时。

恶人献祭，为耶和华所憎恶；正直人祈祷，为他所喜悦。

你们行诡诈害自己；因为你们请我到耶和华—你们神那里，说：‘请你为我们向耶和华—我们的神祷告，你把耶和华—我们神所说的一切告诉我们，我们就必遵行。’

对耶利米先知说：“请你准我们在你面前祈求，为我们这幸存的人向耶和华—你的神祷告。我们本来众多，现在剩下的极少，这是你亲眼看见的。

他们来了，就对他说：“老师，我们知道你是诚实的，无论谁你都一视同仁；因为你不看人的面子，而是诚诚实实传神的道。纳税给凯撒合不合法？

因为希律怕约翰，知道他是义人，是圣人，所以就保护他，虽然听了他的讲论十分困惑，仍然乐意听他。

“你，人子啊，你本国的百姓在城墙旁边、在房屋门口谈论你。弟兄对弟兄彼此说：‘来吧！听听有什么话从耶和华而出。’他们如同百姓前来，来到你这里，坐在你面前仿佛是我的子民。他们听了你的话，却不实行；因为他们口里说爱，心却追随财利。看哪，他们看你如同一个唱情歌的人，声音优雅、善于奏乐；他们听了你的话，却不实行。看哪，这话就要应验；应验时，他们就知道在他们中间有了先知。”

“你们对我说的话，耶和华都听见了。耶和华对我说：‘这百姓对你说的话，我听见了；他们所说的都对。惟愿他们存这样的心敬畏我，常遵守我一切的诫命，使他们和他们的子孙永远得福。

耶和华说：“你们许多的祭物于我何益呢？公绵羊的燔祭和肥畜的油脂，我已经腻烦了；公牛、羔羊、公山羊的血，我都不喜悦。“你们来朝见我，谁向你们的手要求这些，使你们践踏我的院宇呢？不要再献无谓的供物了，香是我所憎恶的。我不能容忍行恶又守严肃会：初一、安息日和召集的大会。你们的初一和节期，我心里恨恶，它们成了我的重担，担当这些，令我厌烦。你们举手祷告，我必遮眼不看，就算你们多多祈祷，我也不听；你们的手沾满了血。

论到那些已经蒙了光照、尝过天恩的滋味、又于圣灵有份、并尝过神的话的美味，和来世权能的人，若再离弃真道，就不可能使他们重新懊悔了；因为他们亲自把神的儿子重钉十字架，公然羞辱他。

要亲近神，神就必亲近你们。有罪的人哪，要洁净你们的手！心怀二意的人哪，要清洁你们的心！

所以，你们要除去一切的恶毒，一切诡诈、假善、嫉妒，和一切毁谤的话。要爱慕那纯净的灵奶，像初生的婴孩爱慕奶一样，好使你们藉着它成长，以致得救，

百姓却从掠物中取了牛羊，是当灭之物中最好的，要在吉甲献给耶和华—你的神。”撒母耳说：“耶和华喜爱燔祭和祭物，岂如喜爱人听从他的话呢？看哪，听命胜于献祭，顺从胜于公羊的脂肪。悖逆与占卜的罪相等，顽梗与拜偶像的罪孽相同。因为你厌弃耶和华的命令，耶和华也厌弃你作王。”扫罗对撒母耳说：“我有罪了！我违背了耶和华的指示和你的命令；因为我惧怕百姓，听从了他们的话。现在求你赦免我的罪，同我回去，我好敬拜耶和华。”
