Because this people approaches me with its mouth,
And with its lips they honor me,
But their veneration of me is vanity:
Commandments of man is their teaching!
Woe unto you, O House of Shammai! You collect tithes from the leaves, pods, and stalks of mint, anise, and cumin, and pass over whatâs important in the Torahâjustice, mercy, and the love of God.
Woe unto you, O House of Shammai! You clean the outside of the cup only. Inside yourselves thereâs extortion, rapacity, wickedness.
Woe unto you who build the tombs of the prophets, who decorate the monuments of the righteous! You consent to the actions of your fathers: they killed the prophets and you build the tombs.

There was a man who had two sons. The younger one said to him, Father, give me my share of the property now. So the man divided his property between his two sons. After a few days the younger son sold his part of the property and left home with the money. He went to a country far away, where he wasted his life in reckless living, and spent all his money, and was left without a penny. So he went to work for a man in that country, who sent him out to his farm to keep his pigs. How he wished he could fill his belly like the pigs with their carobs!
Thus at last he came to his senses, thinking how his fatherâs hired hands had more to eat than he, who was starving. Iâll go back and say, Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I donât deserve to be called your son. Treat me as one of your hired hands.
So he went back home. While he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with pity. He ran to meet him, threw his arms around him, and kissed him. The son started to say, Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I donât deserve to be called your son, but his father called to the servants, Make haste! Bring my best robe and put it on him. Let us have a banquet and rejoice. My son was dead, and he has come back to life!
The elder son, who had been working in the fields, heard as he was returning the musicians playing dances. He called a boy to ask what was going on. Your brother has come home, and your father has ordered a banquet to celebrate his return safe and sound.
The elder son was angry and refused to attend. His father pleaded with him, but he replied, Look, Iâve served you as faithfully as a slave all my life. Iâve never disobeyed any word of yours. Now your son who squandered your property on whores has come home, has he? And you honor him with a banquet!
The father said, My son, youâre always with me. All I have is yours. But your brother was dead and has returned to life.
