Mark 7:7
Mark 7:6-8 The Message (MSG)
Jesus answered, “Isaiah was right about frauds like you, hit the bull’s-eye in fact: These people make a big show of saying the right thing, but their heart isn’t in it. They act like they are worshiping me, but they don’t mean it. They just use me as a cover for teaching whatever suits their fancy, Ditching God’s command and taking up the latest fads.”

Howbeit in vain do they worship me, Teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

Their worship is a farce, for they teach man-made ideas as commands from God.’
