13 The Lord said:

These people approach me with their speeches  * 29:13 Ezk 33:31; Mt 15:8–9; Mk 7:6–7

to honor me with lip-service,  * 29:13 Lit their mouth and honor me with its lips

yet their hearts are far from me,

and human rules direct their worship of me.  * 29:13 Lit their fearing of me is a taught command of men
