5 For you pay tithes of cummin, mint and dill, and leave undone the weightier matters of the law; of judgment, justice, faith.
6 You filter out the gnats before you drink; but then you swallow camels and the like.
7 Woe unto you, you scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! you clean and scour the outside of the cup, while it is full of filth, extortion and excess.
8 Go to and clean the inside of the cup, and then the poisonous fumes will not defile the outside of the cup.
9 Woe unto you, you scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! you are yourselves like whitewashed sepulchres; your outer garbs are beautiful, but you are full of dead men’s bones.
10 You seem to men to be divine; but in your hearts you nourish lust, hypocrisies and vile iniquities.
11 Woe unto you, you scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! you build and then adorn the tombs of holy men of old and say,
12 If we had lived when these men lived, we would have guarded them, would not have acted as our fathers did, when they maltreated them and put them to the sword.
13 But you are sons of them who slew the holy men, and you are not a whit more just than they.
14 Go forth and fill the measure of your fathers who were steeped in crime.
