Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

This is rough for you lawyers! You've basically stolen the key to understanding God and locked everyone out. You won't go in yourselves, and you're blocking the door for anyone else trying to get in.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
