“These people draw near
Me with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but their hearts hold
off and are far away from Me. Uselessly do they worship Me, for They Teach As Doctrines The Commands Of Men.”
To: ALL WHO HAVE EARS TO HEAR
From: GOD THE FATHER, THE LORD
JESUS CHRIST HIS SON and Ministered through the HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, The Helper, that He may be
with you forever. [John 14:16]
Subject: MY WORD; John 1:1 (NKJV) 1 In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:14 (NKJV) 14 And the Word became
flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only
begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
Isaiah 29:13–16 (The
Living Bible) 13And so the
Lord says, “Since these people say they are mine but they do not obey me, and since their worship amounts to mere words
learned by rote, 14therefore I will take awesome vengeance on
these hypocrites and make their wisest counselors as fools.” 15Woe
to those who try to hide their plans from God, who try to keep him in the dark
concerning what they do! “God can’t see us,” they say to themselves. “He
doesn’t know what is going on!” 16How stupid can they be! Isn’t he,
the Potter, greater than you, the jars he makes? Will you say to him, “He
didn’t make us”? Does a machine call its inventor dumb?
Isaiah 29:13–16 (AMP) 13 And the Lord said,
Forasmuch as this people draw near Me with their mouth and honor Me with their
lips but remove their hearts and minds far from Me, and their fear and reverence for Me are
a commandment of men that is learned by repetition [without any thought as
to the meaning], 14 Therefore, behold! I will again do marvelous
things with this people, marvelous and astonishing things; and the wisdom of
their wise men will perish, and the understanding of their discerning men will
vanish or be hidden. 15 Woe to those who [seek to] hide deep
from the Lord their counsel, whose deeds are in the dark, and who say, Who sees
us? Who knows us? 16 [Oh, your perversity!] You turn things upside
down! Shall the potter be considered of no more account than the clay? Shall
the thing that is made say of its maker, He did not make me; or the thing that
is formed say of him who formed it, He has no understanding?
Isaiah 29:13–16 (Tanakh)
13My Lord said: Because that people has approached
[Me] with its mouth And honored Me with its lips, But has kept its heart far
from Me, And its worship of Me has been A
commandment of men, learned by rote— 14Truly, I shall further
baffle that people With bafflement upon bafflement; And the wisdom of its wise
shall fail, And the prudence of its prudent shall vanish. 15Ha!
Those who would hide their plans Deep from the Lord!
Who do their work in dark places And say, “Who sees us, who takes note of us?” 16How
perverse of you! Should the potter be accounted as the clay? Should what is
made say of its Maker, “He did not make me,” And what is formed say of Him who
formed it, “He did not understand?”
Isaiah 29:13–16 (NASB95)
13Then the Lord said, “Because
this people draw near with their words and honor Me with their lip service, But
they remove their hearts far from Me and their
reverence for Me consists of tradition learned by rote, 14Therefore
behold, I will once again deal marvelously with this people, wondrously marvelous;
and the wisdom of their wise men will
perish, and the discernment of their discerning men will be concealed.” 15Woe to those who deeply hide
their plans from the Lord, and
whose deeds are done in a dark place, and they say, “Who sees us?” or
“Who knows us?” 16 You turn things around! Shall the potter
be considered as equal with the clay, That what is made would say to its maker,
“He did not make me”; Or what is formed say to him who formed it, “He has no
understanding”?
Matthew 15:7–9 (AMP) 7 You pretenders (hypocrites)! Admirably and
truly did Isaiah prophesy of you when he said: 8 These people draw
near Me with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but their hearts
hold off and are far away from Me. 9 Uselessly do they worship Me, for they teach as doctrines the commands
of men. [Isa. 29:13.]
*The (Tanakh) is the direct translation of the
Old Testament from the ancient Hebrew.
[Please Note: Always Read the
Word of God in Context, reading the entire chapter or book, asking the Holy
Spirit of the Living God to give you the interpretation. 2 Peter 1:16–21 (Williams) 16 For it was not mere stories of fancy
that we followed when we told you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For when He
received such honor and glory from God the Father, when from the majestic glory
there was borne to Him a voice like this, “This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom
I take delight.” 18 we heard this voice ourselves borne from heaven
while we were with Him on that sacred mountain. 19 So we have the
message of the prophets more certainly guaranteed. Please pay attention to this message as to a
lamp that is shining in a dismal place, until the day dawns and the morning
star rises in your hearts; 20 because you recognize this truth above
all else, that no prophecy in Scripture
is to be interpreted by one’s own mind, 21 for no prophecy has
ever yet originated in man’s will, but men who were led by the Holy Spirit
spoke from God.]
Philippians 2:9–11 (The Living Bible)9 Yet it was because of this that God raised him up to the heights
of heaven and gave him a name which is above every other name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee shall
bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue
shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
