Matthew 15:7-9
Contemporary English Version

7 And you are nothing but show-offs! Isaiah the prophet was right when he wrote that God had said,

8 (A) “All of you praise me
    with your words,
but you never really
    think about me.
9 It is useless for you
    to worship me,
when you teach rules
    made up by humans.”

7 You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you:

8 “‘These people honor me with their lips,
    but their hearts are far from me.
9 They worship me in vain;
    their teachings are merely human rules.(A)’[a](B)”
