10Hear the word of the Lord, you rulers of Sodom, give ear to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrha.

16Wash yourselves, be clean, take away the evil of your devices from my eyes: cease to do perversely,

17Learn to do well: seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge for the fatherless, defend the widow.

18And then come, and accuse me, says the Lord: if your sins be as scarlet, they shall be made as white as snow: and if they be red as crimson, they shall be white as wool.

19if you be willing, and will hearken to me, you shall eat the good things of the land.

20But if you will not, and will provoke me to wrath: the sword shall devour you because the mouth of the Lord has said it.

8I will not reprove you for your sacrifices: and your burnt offerings are always in my sight.

9I will not take calves out of your house: nor he goats out of your flocks.

1Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples,

2Saying: The teachers of the law and the Pharisees have sitten on the chair of Moses.

3All things therefore whatever they shall say to you, observe and do: but according to their works do you not; for they say, and do not.

4For they bind heavy and insupportable burdens, and lay them on men's shoulders; but with a finger of their own they will not move them.

5And all their works they do for to be seen of men. For they make their prayer boxes broad, and enlarge their fringes.

6And they love the first places at feasts, and the first chairs in the synagogues,

7And salutations in the market place, and to be called by men, Teacher.

8But be not you called Teacher. For one is your master; and all you are brothers and sisters.

9And call none your father upon earth; for one is your father, who is in heaven.

10Neither be you called masters; for one is you master, Christ.

11He that is the greatest among you shall be your servant.

12And whoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled: and the one who will humble himself shall be exalted.
