This verse explains the importance of knowing God for self, and how one should worship him according to his word. Religious tenants and or rituals promoted by church figures may serve to assist one in facilitating a relationship with God, but should in no way be confused with how God wants us to serve him.

"The Lord says: 'These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is based on merely human rules they have been taught. Therefore once more I will astound these people with wonder upon wonder; the wisdom of the wise will perish, the intelligence of the intelligent will vanish.”--Isaiah 29:13-14
