Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered. {hindered: or, forbad}

Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness {which} they have prescribed; {that write...: or, to the writers that write grievousness}

Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:

For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.

Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also.

{Is} not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? {the heavy...: Heb. the bundles of the yoke} {oppressed: Heb. broken}

For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay {them} on men's shoulders; but they {themselves} will not move them with one of their fingers.

Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?

Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness {which} they have prescribed; {that write...: or, to the writers that write grievousness}

Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also.
