Matthew 23:2-4

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

² The scribes and Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat [of authority].

³ So observe and practice all they tell you; but do not do what they do, for they preach, but do not practice.

⁴ They tie up heavy loads, hard to bear, and place them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves will not lift a finger to help bear them.
