⁴² "But it is too bad for you Pharisees! For you give a tenth of your mint, rue and every [other] herb [Note: These were small garden plants used for seasoning or medicine] and [yet] neglect [demonstrating] justice and the love of God [toward others].

For you love [to occupy] the principal seats in the synagogues and [to receive special] greetings in the open shopping markets. ⁴⁴ "It is too bad for you! For you people are like obscure grave sites that people walk over without knowing it."
