('Put thou thy trust in God')
Matthew 15 v.1-9 parts
********
You hypocrites, well did
Isaiah* say, not hid
Said Jesus to scribes, Pharisees
The prophecy agrees
Which says, This people draw
Near to me, the Lord sure
Draw near with their mouth, and honour
Me with their lips demure
But their heart far it be
From me, but in vain, see
They do worship me, teaching for
Doctrines a worldly cure
For they teach, do make more
Of commands of men, for
They put aside God's commands, they
Trust to tradition's ways
-----
* Isaiah 29 v.13, though Isaiah himself does not actually say 'hypocrites'.

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 6.6.8.6. It starts on a sharp note (not a literal sharp music note!). Though there was worse. Some people even sacrificed their own children in a fire to gods in idolatry and then came and worshipped in God's Temple. There was punishment and judgement in Old Testament days, even to the extremes of cannibalism in long sieges. Parents had to eat their own children as there was nothing else to eat.
