This, by definition, is a hypocrite. This is why the Lord said "woe unto you".
1. They have sold their soul for their reward, hence "they have their reward"
2. They can discern the face of the sky, but not the sign of the times.
3. They worship the Lord in vain.
4. They make the word of God of none effect through their traditions which they teach men to do.
as a result the Lord compares hypocrites to plants that His Father has not planted and which will be rooted up.
They heap up woe to themselves
1. They shut up the kingdom of men, forbidding them to enter and neither do they enter.
2. Devour widow's houses
3. They compass land and sea to make a proselyte and then make him twofold the son of gehenna.
4. They have have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith
5. They make clean the cup and platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
6. They appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness
7. They are children of those that killed the prophets.
