Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from

the LORD.

And they come unto thee, as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as

my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with

their mouth they show much love, but their heart goeth after their

covetousness.

And lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song, of one that hath a

pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy

words, but they do them not."
