Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people (k) draw near [me] with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their (l) fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
(k) Because they are hypocrites and not sincere in heart, as in (Matthew 15:7-8).
(l) That is, their religion was learned by man's doctrine, and not by my word.
