CHAPTER 4:

HEAR the word of the LORD, ye children
of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy
with the inhabitants of the land, because
there is no truth, nor mercy, nor
knowledge of God in the land.

6 ¶ My people are destroyed for lack of
knowledge: because thou hast rejected
knowledge, I will also reject thee, that
thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou
hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will
also forget thy children.

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ST. JOHN.
CHAPTER 4:

22 Ye worship ye know not what: we
know what we worship: for salvation is of
the Jews.

24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship
him must worship him in spirit and in
truth.

CHAPTER 8:

24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall
die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I
am he, ye shall die in your sins.
25 Then said they unto him, Who art
thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the
same that I said unto you from the beginning.

26 I have many things to say and to judge
of you: but he that sent me is true; and I
speak to the world those things which I
have heard of him.
27 They understood not that he spake to
them of the Father.

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ST. MATTHEW.
CHAPTER 23:

23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and
anise and cummin, and have omitted the
weightier matters of the law, judgment,
mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have
done, and not to leave the other undone.

CHAPTER 9:

23 ¶ Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise
man glory in his wisdom, neither let the
mighty man glory in his might, let not the
rich man glory in his riches:
24 But let him that glorieth glory in this,
that he understandeth and knoweth me,
that I am the LORD which exercise
lovingkindness, judgment, and
righteousness, in the earth: for in these
things I delight, saith the LORD.
