Ὥστε ὃν τρόπον τὴν ἀρχὴν διὰ τάς κακίας ὑμῶν ταῦτα ἐντέταλτο, ὁμοίως διὰ τὴν ἐν τούτοις ὑπομονήν, μᾶλλον δὲ ἐπίτασιν, διὰ τῶν αὐτῶν εἰς ἀνάμνησιν αὐτοῦ καὶ γνῶσιν [fol. 76] ὑμᾶς καλεῖ. Ὑμεῖς δὲ λαὸς σκληροκάρδιος [cf. Ez., III, 7] καὶ ἀσύνετος [cf. JÉR., IV, 22] καὶ τυφλὸς [cf. Is., XLII, 48] καὶ χωλὸς [cf. Ps., XVII, 46, et III R., XVIII, 21] καὶ υἱοὶ οἷς οὐκ ἔστι πίστις ἐν αὐτοῖς, ὡς αὐτὸς λέγει [Deut., XXXII, 20], ἐστέ, τοῖς χείλεσιν αὐτὸν μόνον τιμῶντες, τῇ δὲ καρδίᾳ πόρρω αὐτοῦ ὄντες, ἰδίας διδασκαλίας καὶ μὴ τὰ ἐκείνου διδάσκοντες [Is., XXIX, 13].
