BSB
BSB:
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You pay tithes of mint, dill, and cumin. But you have disregarded the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.
24
STW
Aaemi rhooan afan parh! Oaw tipwei wow erhai nnoang me noan minimwu iuniumaemi, nge oawwa faer woromi noa erhai camel!

BSB:
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.

BSB
BSB:
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men’s bones and every kind of impurity.
28
STW
Epwan taeppen rhag aaemi: me niugiun oawnning faaen meseer aeremas, nge noan nge a sseog noa reen oatupwutupw me monofit.

BSB:
In the same way, on the outside you appear to be righteous, but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.

BSB:
Fill up, then, the measure of the sin of your fathers.

And so upon you will come all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.
