CHAPTER 7:
6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

CHAPTER 30:
WOE to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:
2 That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
3 Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.

Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom
of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my
Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord,
Lord, have we not prophesied in thy
name? and in thy name have cast out
devils? and in thy name done many
wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I
never knew you: depart from me, ye that
work iniquity.

PSALM 53
To the chief Musician upon Mahalath,
Maschil, A Psalm of David.
THE fool hath said in his heart, There is
no God. Corrupt are they, and have done
abominable iniquity: there is none that
doeth good.
2 God looked down from heaven upon the
children of men, to see if there were any
that did understand, that did seek God.
3 Every one of them is gone back: they are
altogether become filthy; there is none
that doeth good, no, not one.
4 Have the workers of iniquity no
knowledge? who eat up my people as they
eat bread: they have not called upon God.

CHAPTER 5:
6 Let no man deceive you with vain
words: for because of these things cometh
the wrath of God upon the children of
disobedience.
7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but
now are ye light in the Lord: walk as
children of light:
9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all
goodness and righteousness and truth;)
10 Proving what is acceptable unto the
Lord.
11 And have no fellowship with the
unfruitful works of darkness, but rather
reprove them.

CHAPTER 6:
23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

CHAPTER 6:
23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!

CHAPTER 28:
9 ¶ Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.
10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.
12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
13 But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

CHAPTER 34:
16 ¶ Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.
17 And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it unto them by line: they shall possess it for ever, from generation to generation shall they dwell therein.
