Origin
Old English gebed ‘prayer’, of Germanic origin; related to Dutch bede and German Gebet, also to bid2. Current senses derive from the use of a rosary, each bead representing a prayer.

"I am better served by obedience to My laws and conformity with My plans than by ritual and offerings.

To listen to the words of the Sacred Writings while striving to understand them is better in My sight than offerings of flesh and treasure which benefit the priests more than they do
Me.

Among the things, which I abhor, few are more detestable than the hypocritical offerings of the evildoer.

The offerings and worship of a hypocrite are an abomination to Me.

Evil enters the realm beyond Earth as a foul smell, and the worse one of all is the smell of hypocrisy.

Those who pander to hypocrites or do not actively oppose them are also creatures of
evil."

"I know too well the deceit, to which men are prone.

The adulterer and fornicator preach chastity for others, while the liar declares the virtues of Truth.

The thief preaches honesty and the lewd-minded professes modesty.

Men say one thing and mean another, while all too often the half or slanted truth replaces the real thing.

Men may deceive themselves and other
men, but I am not deceived.

Now I say, let men first cleanse their own souls and eradicate hypocrisy before presuming to approach Me.

Men may well cry out, "Why does God remain mute; why has He deserted Me?" Do they think their deeds are hidden or that I cannot read the secrets of their hearts?"

"Worship by men of iniquity is mere mockery.

How rare the sincere and genuine heart!

Were men indeed deserted by their God, they would have none to blame but themselves.

Do men think their lack of kindness and consideration for others, their insincerity and inconsistency are truly hidden from Me?

I am the All Knowing One.

I see too little love of goodness in the hearts of men and too much fear for the consequences of their deeds."

I see too little love of goodness in the hearts of men and too much fear for the consequences of their deeds."

"‘Who'd believe it?’ ‘Who indeed?’"
