{Well did Isaiah prophesy of you} (kal(9373) eproph(8874)eusen peri
h(966d)(936e) Esaias). There is sarcasm in this pointed application of
Isaiah's words ( Isa 29:13 ) to these rabbis. He "beautifully
pictured" them. The portrait was to the very life, "teaching as
their doctrines the commandments of men." They were indeed far
from God if they imagined that God would be pleased with such
gifts at the expense of duty to one's parents.
