²² A fountain of life `is' understanding to its possessors, The instruction of fools is folly.

²⁴ `Verily, verily, I say to you -- He who is hearing my word, and is believing Him who sent me, hath life age-during, and to judgment he doth not come, but hath passed out of the death to the life.

³⁹ And he spake a simile to them, `Is blind able to lead blind? shall they not both fall into a pit?

⁴⁰ A disciple is not above his teacher, but every one perfected shall be as his teacher.

¹⁴ The law of the wise `is' a fountain of life, To turn aside from snares of death.

¹¹ A fountain of life `is' the mouth of the righteous, And the mouth of the wicked cover doth violence.

⁶⁸ Simon Peter, therefore, answered him, `Sir, unto whom shall we go? thou hast sayings of life age-during;

⁶³ the spirit it is that is giving life; the flesh doth not profit anything; the sayings that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life;

¹⁶ `Wo to you, blind guides, who are saying, Whoever may swear by the sanctuary, it is nothing, but whoever may swear by the gold of the sanctuary -- is debtor!

¹⁷ Fools and blind! for which `is' greater, the gold, or the sanctuary that is sanctifying the gold?

¹⁸ `And, whoever may swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever may swear by the gift that is upon it -- is debtor!

¹⁹ Fools and blind! for which `is' greater, the gift, or the altar that is sanctifying the gift?

²⁰ `He therefore who did swear by the altar, doth swear by it, and by all things on it;

²¹ and he who did swear by the sanctuary, doth swear by it, and by Him who is dwelling in it;

²² and he who did swear by the heaven, doth swear by the throne of God, and by Him who is sitting upon it.

²³ `Wo to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye give tithe of the mint, and the dill, and the cumin, and did neglect the weightier things of the Law -- the judgment, and the kindness, and the faith; these it behoved `you' to do, and those not to neglect.

²⁴ `Blind guides! who are straining out the gnat, and the camel are swallowing.

²⁵ `Wo to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye make clean the outside of the cup and the plate, and within they are full of rapine and incontinence.

²⁶ `Blind Pharisee! cleanse first the inside of the cup and the plate, that the outside of them also may become clean.

¹⁴ let them alone, guides they are -- blind of blind; and if blind may guide blind, both into a ditch shall fall.'

⁴ Deep waters `are' the words of a man's mouth, The fountain of wisdom `is' a flowing brook.

²⁸ The heart of the righteous meditateth to answer, And the mouth of the wicked uttereth evil things.

² The tongue of the wise maketh knowledge good, And the mouth of fools uttereth folly.

²⁷ The fear of Jehovah `is' a fountain of life, To turn aside from snares of death.
