Study Note
God's indictment — 'this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me' — is a foundational text for the critique of formal religion disconnected from genuine devotion. Jesus cites this verse in Matthew 15:8 and Mark 7:6 against the Pharisees' tradition of handwashing, making it the proof-text for his critique of externalism in religious practice and the authority of human tradition over divine command. The phrase 'their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men' identifies the mechanism of corruption: genuine personal encounter with God is replaced by socialized religious behaviour, which can be taught and performed without any transformation of the heart. The Reformation emphasis on 'sola scriptura' and direct access to God drew heavily on this verse's critique of human tradition supplanting divine word.
