“ Whatever [the scribes and the Pharisees] tell you to observe, that observe and do, but do not do according to their works; for they say, and do not do. For they bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves do not move them with one of their fingers. Matthew 23:3-4 NKJV
