40. Goilomim (Foolish people)! Did not the One having made the outside also make the inside?
41. But as far as what is inside, give tzedakah, and everything is tahor to you.
42. But oy to you, Perushim, because you give as ma'aser (tithe) the mint and the rue and every herb and you disregard the mishpat and the ahavah of Hashem. But these things it was necessary to do and those not to disregard. [DEVARIM 6:5; MICHOH 6:8]
43. Oy to you Perushim! Because your ahavah is for the moshavot harishonim (first seats) in the shuls and the [obsequious] Birkat Shalom greetings in the market places.
44. Woe to you, because you are like the unmarked kevarim (graves), and bnei Adam walk over them without having daas.
45. And, in reply, one of the Baalei Torah says to him, Rabbi, by saying these things you insult us also.
