Isaiah 29:13

tn The Hebrew term translated “sovereign master” here is אֲדֹנָי (’adonai).

tn Heb “Because these people draw near to me with their mouth.”

tn Heb “and with their lips they honor me.”

tn Heb “but their heart is far from me.” The heart is viewed here as the seat of the will, from which genuine loyalty derives.

tn Heb “their fear of me is a commandment of men that has been taught.”
