Matthew 23:21-23
1599 Geneva Bible
21 (A)And whosoever sweareth by the Temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
22 (B)And he that sweareth by heaven, sweareth by the [a]throne of God, and by him that sitteth theron.
23 ¶ (C)[b]Woe be to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for ye tithe mint, and anise, and cummin, and leave the weightier matters of the law, as judgment, and mercy and [c]fidelity. These ought ye to have done, and not to have left the other.

Matthew 23:21-23
New International Version
21 And anyone who swears by the temple swears by it and by the one who dwells(A) in it. 22 And anyone who swears by heaven swears by God’s throne and by the one who sits on it.(B)
23 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth(C) of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness.(D) You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.
