Moreover let us cleave to those whose[*](Cleaving to the peaceable) peacefulness is based on piety and not to those whose wish for peace is hypocrisy.
For it says in one place: This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
And again, They blessed with their mouth, but cursed in their hearts.
