TSK · Jeremiah 12:2

From out of the populous city, men groan. The soul of the wounded cries out, yet God doesn't regard the folly.

The Lord said, "Because this people draws near with their mouth and with their lips to honor me, but they have removed their heart far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men which has been taught;

For Yahweh of Armies, who planted you, has pronounced evil against you, because of the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have worked for themselves in provoking me to anger by offering incense to Baal.

He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful soil; he placed it beside many waters; he set it as a willow tree.

They come to you as the people come, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear your words, but don't do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their gain.

'These people draw near to me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

They profess that they know God, but by their works they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work.
