14. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows’ houses and for a pretence make long prayer; therefore, ye shall receive the greater judgment.
15. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more a son of hell than yourselves.
16. Woe unto you, ye blind guides, who say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!
17. Ye fools and blind, for which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifies the gold?
18. And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever swears by the gift that is upon it, he is a debtor.
19. Ye fools and blind, for which one is greater, the gift or the altar that sanctifies the gift?
20. Whosoever therefore shall swear by the altar, swears by it and by all things thereon.
21. And whosoever shall swear by the temple, swears by it and by Him that dwells therein.
22. And he that shall swear by the heaven, swears by the throne of God and by Him that sits thereon.
