There is a way which seems right to a man, but the end of it is the ways of death.

He feeds on ashes; a deceived heart has turned him aside, so that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is this not a lie in my right hand?

He who kills an ox is as if he killed a man; he who sacrifices a lamb is as if he broke a dog's neck; he who offers an offering is as if he offered swine's blood; he who burns incense is as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations.

I also will choose the things that delude them, and I will bring their fears upon them, because when I called, no one answered; when I spoke, they have not obeyed. But they did evil before My eyes and have chosen that in which I have not delighted.

And in vain they revere Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.

But He answered and said, Every plant which My Heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted.

They will put you out of the synagogues; yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service.

Indeed, I myself thought I must do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

For I bear witness of them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to full true knowledge.

For they, being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God.
