All their works they do for to be seen of men:
they make broad their diplomas on their walls, adorned in oak and glass, which they do use to command a higher salary but prove every Sunday from the pulpit, that they are worthless;
and they seek ever to enlarge the size of their ride, which they do wash and polish until gleaming but inside is full of dead men's bones;
and love the choicest spots reserved for them in the parking lot;
and to be visited by the sheep which was lost, in a large private office in the church, during office hours only;
and greetings in the restaurants, and the country club, and at the boat dock;
and to be called of men, Reverend, Doctor.

Woe unto you, pastors, hypocrites! for ye extort the tithe and devour women's houses, and for a pretence make long prayer for the poor, and the sick, the unemployed and the homeless: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
Woe unto you, pastors, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one convert, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves, while the beggar on thine own street do ye refuse and turn away, and teach men so to do.
Woe unto you, pastors, hypocrites! for ye build excess square footage at great expense, which lies vacant and warm most of the day, and mistake its desolation for the kingdom of God. You have your reward.
Woe unto you, pastors, hypocrites! for ye bind on men heavy mortgages, grievous to be borne, and then do run away to take another call.
Woe unto you, pastors, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men.
