Isaiah 1: 10, 16-20
| 1:10 | Listen to the Word of the Lord, you leaders of the people of Sodom. Listen closely to the law of our God, O people of Gomorrah. |
| 1:16 | Wash, become clean, take away the evil of your intentions from my eyes. Cease to act perversely. |
| 1:17 | Learn to do good. Seek judgment, support the oppressed, judge for the orphan, defend the widow. |
| 1:18 | And then approach and accuse me, says the Lord. An uair sin, if your sins are like scarlet, they shall be made white like snow; and if they are red like vermillion, they shall become white like wool. |
| 1:19 | If you are willing, and you listen to me, then you will eat the good things of the land. |
| 1:20 | But if you are not willing, and you provoke me to anger, then the sword will devour you. Oir labhair beul an Tighearna. |

Mata 23: 1-12
23:1 Then Jesus spoke to the crowds, and to his disciples,
23:2 ag ràdh: “The scribes and the Pharisees have sat down in the chair of Moses.
23:3 Uime sin, all things whatsoever that they shall say to you, observe and do. Ach dha-rìribh, do not choose to act according to their works. For they say, but they do not do.
23:4 For they bind up heavy and unbearable burdens, and they impose them on men’s shoulders. But they are not willing to move them with even a finger of their own.
23:5 Gu fìrinneach, they do all their works so that they may be seen by men. For they enlarge their phylacteries and glorify their hems.
23:6 And they love the first places at feasts, and the first chairs in the synagogues,
23:7 and greetings in the marketplace, and to be called Master by men.
23:8 But you must not be called Master. For One is your Master, and you are all brothers.
23:9 And do not choose to call anyone on earth your father. For One is your Father, a tha air neamh.
23:10 Neither should you be called teachers. For One is your Teacher, the Christ.
23:11 Whoever is greater among you shall be your minister.
23:12 But whoever has exalted himself, shall be humbled. And whoever has humbled himself, shall be exalted.
