Ezekiel 33:31-32
31 And they come to you as people approaching and they sit at your face as my people; and they hear your words, and work them not: for they work pantings with their mouth but their heart goes after their greedy gain:
32 and behold, you are to them as a song of pantings - of a beautiful voice strumming goodly on an instrument: for they hear your words, and they work them not.

James 2:14-26
14 What benefit, my brothers, whenever one words that he has the trust and has not works? Can the trust save him?
15 Whenever a brother or sister is naked and lacks daily nourishment,
16 and one of you says to them, Go in shalom! Be warmed and filled! - and not give them those needful to the body; what benefit is it?
17 Thus, even trust, whenever it has not works, by itself is dead.
18 Yet one says, You have trust and I also have works: show me your trust by your works and I also show you my trust by my works *. his sentence is a play on emphasis.
19 You - you trust that Elohim is one; you do well: the demons also trust and shudder.
20 And will you to know, O vain human, that the trust apart from works is dead?
21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he offered Yischaq his son on the sacrifice altar?
22 See how the trust co-worked with his works? And the trust completed/shalamed by works?
23 And the scripture fulfilled/shalamed, wording, Abraham trusted Elohim and it was reckoned to him to justness; - and he was called the Friend of Elohim.
24 - so you see, a human is justified by works and not only by trust.
25 Likewise also was not Rachab the whore justified by works when she received the angels and sent them another way?
26 For exactly as the body apart from the spirit is dead, thus the trust apart from works is also dead.
