The artful pretender,
Seems unto himself to be,
Of all men, the most perfect.
He feigns attendance unto the Lord,
Wearrying Him with many words;
Yet the law of Truth
Is not found in his lips.
He covers the altar with tears,
With weeping and much crying out;
Yet he knoweth not, nor regardeth
The Offering and the Sacrifice;
Neither does he receive It
With any good will.
He walks mournfully before God:
The path of all who resist.
Devoid of the Truth:
Turning exemption into servitude,
"Supposing that gain is godliness:
From such withdraw thyself,
And turn away."
