5 “Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long; 6 they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; 7 they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.

they never have enough.
They are shepherds who lack understanding;
they all turn to their own way,
they seek their own gain.

Let us drink our fill of beer!
And tomorrow will be like today,
