Matthew 23:16-24 Woe to you, blind guides, that say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but he that shall swear by the gold of the temple is a debtor.

DouayRheims⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ Woe to you, blind guides, that say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but he that shall swear by the gold of the temple is a debtor. ¹⁷ Ye foolish and blind: for whether is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifieth the gold? ¹⁸ And whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it is a debtor. ¹⁹ Ye foolish and blind: for whether is greater, the gift or the altar that sanctifieth the gift? ²⁰ He therefore that sweareth by the altar sweareth by it and by all things that are upon it. ²¹ And whosoever shall swear by the temple sweareth by it and by him that dwelleth in it. ²² And he that sweareth by heaven sweareth by the throne of God and by him that sitteth thereon. ²³ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you tithe mint and anise and cummin and have left the weightier things of the law: judgment and mercy and faith. These things you ought to have done and not to leave those undone. ²⁴ Blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel.
