From Isaiah

Hypocrites

Shall the potter
Be esteemed as the clay;
For shall the thing made say
of him who made it,
“He did not make me”?
Or shall the thing formed today
of him who formed it, say
“He has no understanding”?

Pause and wonder!
Blind yourselves and be blind!
¡Embriagaos!
They are drunk,
But not drunk with wine;

They stagger, but not with drink.
For the Lord has poured on you a deep sleep,
Kept the eyes of the prophets closed
Therefore, Thus said the Lord

‘These people
Draw near to Me with their mouth,
Honor Me with their lips,
But their heart is distant
Hypocrites
In vain they worship Me,
Teaching rules of men as doctrines.’ ”

Therefore hear the
word of the Lord, you scornful men,
Because you’ve said,
“We’ve made a covenant with death,
And with Sheol we are in agreement.
The gushing flood won’t reach us when it sweeps by,
For our refuge we’ve made lies,
And under falsehood ourselves we hide”

Therefore thus says the Lord God:
“Behold, I lay a stone in Zion
a cornerstone, for a sure foundation;
Whoever believes (in it) will not act hastily.
I’ll make justice the measuring line,
hail will sweep away the refuge of lies,
The place you hide, the waters will overflow
Your covenant with death will be annulled,

Your agreement with Sheol will not stand;
When the overflowing scourge passes through,
Then you will be trampled down
As often as it goes out
it will take you;
morning by morning,
by day and by night;
It will be a terror just to understand the report.”

Therefore, Thus said the Lord

‘These people
Draw near to Me with their mouth,
Honor Me with their lips,
But their heart is distant
Hypocrites
In vain they worship Me,
Teaching rules of men as doctrines.’ ”

Therefore I’ll,
Once more, I’ll astound
These people with another
Marvelous work,
A wonder
Wisdom of the wise, will die
The understanding of their prudent men, I’ll hide

‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth,
Honor Me with their lips,
But their heart is distant
Hypocrites
in vain they worship Me,
Teaching rules of men as doctrine.’ ”
