They come to you as people come, and they sit before you as My people, and they hear your words, but they do not practice them; for with their mouth they express loving devotion, but their heart goes after their (unlawful) gain.
And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness.
They come to you as people come, and sit before you as My people and hear your words, but they do not do them, for they do the lustful desires expressed by their mouth, and their heart goes after their gain.
My people come to you, just as they usually do. They sit in front of you. They hear what you say. But they do not put it into practice. With their mouths they say they love me. But in their hearts they want what belongs to others. They try to get rich by cheating them.
My people come to you, as they usually do, and sit before you to hear your words, but they do not put them into practice. Their mouths speak of love, but their hearts are greedy for unjust gain.
My people come to you, as they usually do, and sit before you to hear your words, but they do not put them into practice. Their mouths speak of love, but their hearts are greedy for unjust gain.
So my people come pretending to be sincere and sit before you. They listen to your words, but they have no intention of doing what you say. Their mouths are full of lustful words, and their hearts seek only after money.
Arabic
وَيُقْبِلُونَ إِلَيْكَ مِثْلَ سَائِرِ الشَّعْبِ وَيَجْلِسُونَ فِي حَضْرَتِكَ نَظِيرَ شَعْبِي، وَيُصْغُونَ إِلَى كَلامِكَ وَلا يَعْمَلُونَ بِهِ. إِنَّهُمْ يُعْرِبُونَ عَنْ أَشْوَاقِهِمْ بِكَلامِهِمْ، أَمَّا قَلْبُهُمْ فَقَدْ غَوَى وَرَاءَ مَكْسَبِهِمْ.
Danish
Så stimler de sammen hos dig og sætter sig ned for at høre på dig. Men de har ikke tænkt sig at adlyde mine ord, for de taler altid om deres egne ønsker, og de er mest optaget af at søge efter penge og profit.
German
Dann kommen sie in großen Scharen und setzen sich vor dich hin, ganz so, wie es sich für mein Volk gehört. Sie hören dann zwar, was du ihnen sagst, doch sie richten sich nicht danach. Sie tun so, als würden sie deine Worte begierig aufnehmen,[b] aber insgeheim sind sie nur auf unrechten Gewinn aus.
Spanish
Y se te acercan en masa, y se sientan delante de ti y escuchan tus palabras, pero luego no las practican. Me halagan de labios para afuera, pero después solo buscan las ganancias injustas.

French
Puis ils accourent en foule chez toi. Les gens de mon peuple s’assoient devant toi, ils écoutent bien tes paroles mais ne les traduisent pas en actes, car ils ne parlent que de choses plaisantes, et dans leur cœur, ils ne recherchent que leur intérêt.
Hiligaynon
Gani nagapalapit ang akon mga katawhan sa imo kag daw sinsero gid sila nga nagapamati sa imo, pero ang matuod wala nila ginatuman ang imo ginahambal. Maayo lang sila maghambal nga ginahigugma nila ako, pero ang sa sulod sang ila tagipusuon amo ang pagpanguwarta.
Japanese
彼らはもっともらしい顔をしてやって来る。そして、あなたの前に座って聞くだろう。だが、わたしの言うとおりにする気はさらさらない。口では、いかにも調子よく、わたしを愛しているようなことを言うが、心は金銭欲でいっぱいだ。
Korean
그들이 평소 때와 마찬가지로 네 앞에 앉아서 네 말을 듣지만 그들은 네 말대로 실천하지 않는다. 그들이 입으로는 사랑을 말하지만 그들의 마음은 사리 사욕을 채우는 데 급급하다.

En zo komt mijn volk zoals gewoonlijk naar u toe en gaat zitten om naar u te luisteren. Maar intussen zijn zij helemaal niet van plan te doen wat Ik hun opdraag, zij kunnen uren praten over het liefhebben van de Here, maar het enige dat hen interesseert is hoe zij zo snel mogelijk rijk kunnen worden.
Portuguese
O meu povo vem a você, como costuma fazer, e se assenta para ouvir as suas palavras, mas não as põe em prática. Com a boca eles expressam devoção, mas o coração deles está ávido de ganhos injustos.
Então aproximam-se, com o ar de quem é muito sincero, e sentam-se para ouvir, mas por dentro não têm a mínima intenção de fazer o que lhes é ordenado. Falam com hipocrisia sobre amar o Senhor, mas nos seus corações o que reina é o amor ao dinheiro.
Romanian
Şi vin la tine cu grămada! Cei din poporul Meu se aşază înaintea ta şi ascultă cuvintele tale, dar nu le împlinesc, căci cu gura ei vorbesc atât de dulce, dar inima lor umblă după câştig necinstit.
Russian
Мой народ ходит к тебе, как обычно, и садится пред тобой слушать твои слова, но не исполняет их. На устах у них – лесть, а сердца тянутся к нечестной поживе.

Swedish
Mitt folk kommer till dig så som folk brukar komma, och de sätter sig framför dig för att lyssna till dig, men de handlar inte enligt det de hör av dig. De talar som om de vore hängivna, men i verkligheten är de ute efter egen vinning.
Thai
ประชากรของเรามาหาเจ้าอย่างที่พวกเขามักจะทำ มานั่งอยู่ตรงหน้าเพื่อฟังคำพูดของเจ้า แต่ไม่เคยนำไปปฏิบัติ เขาแสดงความจงรักภักดีด้วยริมฝีปาก แต่จิตใจโลภหวังผลกำไรอธรรม

他们随着人群来到你面前,坐着聆听你的话,俨然像我的子民。但他们不付诸实行,嘴里说的是甜言蜜语,心中却追求不义之财。
他 们 来 到 你 这 里 如 同 民 来 聚 会 , 坐 在 你 面 前 彷 佛 是 我 的 民 。 他 们 听 你 的 话 却 不 去 行 ; 因 为 他 们 的 口 多 显 爱 情 , 心 却 追 随 财 利 。
