Matthew 23:3-28
all things therefore whatsoever they bid you, these do and observe: but do not ye after their works; for they say, and do not.Yea, they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with their finger.But all their works they do to be seen of men: for they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,and love the chief place at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,and the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called of men, Rabbi.But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your teacher, and all ye are brethren.And call no man your father on the earth: for one is your Father, even he who is in heaven.Neither be ye called masters: for one is your master, even the Christ.But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled; and whosoever shall humble himself shall be exalted.But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye shut the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye enter not in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering in to enter.

Psalms 50:16-21
But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, And that thou hast taken my covenant in thy mouth,Seeing that thou hatest instruction, And castest my words behind thee?When thou sawest a thief, thou consentedst with him, And hast been partaker with adulterers.Thou givest thy mouth to evil, And thy tongue frameth deceit.Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; Thou slanderest thine own mother’s son.These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; Thou thoughtest that I was altogether such a one as thyself: But I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.

In thee have they taken bribes to shed blood; thou hast taken interest and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbors by oppression, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord Jehovah.Behold, therefore, I have smitten my hand at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made, and at thy blood which hath been in the midst of thee.
