Isaiah 29:13

Context

29:13 The sovereign master 1  says,

“These people say they are loyal to me; 2 

they say wonderful things about me, 3 

but they are not really loyal to me. 4 

Their worship consists of

nothing but man-made ritual. 5 

1 tn The Hebrew term translated “sovereign master” here is אֲדֹנָי (’adonai).

2 tn Heb “Because these people draw near to me with their mouth.”

3 tn Heb “and with their lips they honor me.”

4 tn Heb “but their heart is far from me.” The heart is viewed here as the seat of the will, from which genuine loyalty derives.

5 tn Heb “their fear of me is a commandment of men that has been taught.”
