going through the motions at church. The first chapter of Isaiah presents the same argument (Isaiah 1:11–20). Jesus made a similar indictment of the religious leaders in his own day by quoting Isaiah 29:13 regarding lip service rather than heart commitment and action (Matthew 15:1–14). Matthew 23 records repeated denunciations by Jesus directed to the hypocritical religious leaders. In contrast, the instructions about how to live for God can be found in Christ’s Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5–7).
