The Evangeliad (29:12-13)


Section 29:12-13 (corresponding to Luke 16:14-15)

But the Pharisees listening scoffed at him,
With money the treasure they put their hope in;
And Jesus, he warned them, "God knows your hearts,
Yes, He knows what all of your idols are.

You try to justify yourselves before men,
Acting righteous, but with great greed within--
Do you not know that our God despises
All the riches the worldly one prizes?"
