¹⁶ “Woe to you, ^(A)blind guides, who say, ‘^(B)Whoever swears by the ^[a]temple, that is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the ^[b]temple is obligated.’ ¹⁷ You fools and blind men! ^(C)Which is ^[c]more important, the gold or the ^[d]temple that sanctified the gold? ¹⁸ And you say, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, that is nothing; but whoever swears by the ^[e]offering that is on it is obligated.’ ¹⁹ You blind men, ^(D)which is ^[f]more important, the ^[g]offering or the altar that sanctifies the ^[h]offering? ²⁰ Therefore, the one who swears by the altar, swears both by ^[i]the altar and by everything on it. ²¹ And the one who swears by the ^[j]temple, swears both by ^[k]the temple and by Him who ^(E)dwells in it.
