"Woe to you hypocritical Torah-teachers and P'rushim! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look fine on the outside but inside are full of dead people's bones and all kinds of rottenness.

However, the Lord said to him, “Now then, you P’rushim, you clean the outside of the cup and plate; but inside, you are full of robbery and wickedness.

Fools! Didn’t the One who made the outside make the inside too?

Rather, give as alms what is inside, and then everything will be clean for you!

“But woe to you P’rushim! You pay your tithes of mint and rue and every garden herb, but you ignore justice and the love of God. You have an obligation to do these things — but without disregarding the others!

“Woe to you P’rushim, because you love the best seat in the synagogues and being greeted deferentially in the marketplaces!

“Woe to you, because you are like unmarked graves, which people walk over without knowing it.”
