Luke 11:42-44
New Catholic Bible
42 “Woe to you Pharisees! You pay tithes[a] of mint and rue and every garden herb, but you neglect justice and the love of God. You should have practiced these without neglecting the others.
43 “Woe to you Pharisees! You love to have the best seats in synagogues and to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces.
44 “Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves[b] upon which people tread without realizing it.”
