"But you say, 'Whoever says to his father or mother, "Whatever I have that would help you has been given to God,"he is not to honor his father or his mother.' And by this you invalidated the word of God for the sake of your tradition."You hypocrites, rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you:'aTHIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME.

highlighted Psalms 78:9-18 NASB

They adid not keep the covenant of God And refused to bwalk in His law;They aforgot His deeds And His miracles that He had shown them.aHe wrought wonders before their fathers In the land of Egypt, in the bfield of Zoan.He adivided the sea and caused them to pass through, And He made the waters stand bup like a heap.Then He led them with the cloud by aday And all the night with a blight of fire.He asplit the rocks in the wilderness And gave them abundant drink like the ocean depths.He abrought forth streams also from the rock And caused waters to run down like rivers.Yet they still continued to sin against Him, To arebel against the Most High in the desert.And in their heart they aput God to the test By asking bfood according to their desire.The sons of Ephraim were aarchers equipped with bows, Yet bthey turned back in the day of battle.

I will aopen my mouth in a parable; I will utter bdark sayings of old,Which we have heard and known, And aour fathers have told us.We will anot conceal them from their children, But btell to the generation to come the praises of the Lord, And His strength and His cwondrous works that He has done.For He established a atestimony in Jacob And appointed a blaw in Israel, Which He ccommanded our fathers That they should dteach them to their children,aThat the generation to come might know, even bthe children yet to be born, That they may arise and ctell them to their children,That they should put their confidence in God And anot forget the works of God, But bkeep His commandments,And anot be like their fathers, A bstubborn and rebellious generation, A generation that cdid not prepare its heart And whose spirit was not dfaithful to God.
