In Jeremiah 45:4, God uses the same planting imagery but reverses it: what He planted He will now uproot — the inevitable end for those whose hearts are far from Him.

Jeremiah 2:5 describes Israel going far from God — the same spiritual distance condemned in the hypocritical wicked here.

Isaiah 29:13 explicitly describes the same hypocrisy — lips honor God but hearts are far — a direct parallel to the 'near in mouth, far from reins' here.

In Ezekiel 33:31, the people hear words and show love with their mouth but hearts chase covetousness — exactly the same outward-inward disconnect.

In Matthew 15:8, Jesus quotes Isaiah's same indictment of lip-service hypocrisy — reinforcing the pattern Jeremiah observed: outward devotion without inward reality.

In Mark 7:6, Jesus again cites Isaiah's charge of heartless worship — the same hypocrisy Jeremiah laments in 12:2.

In Titus 1:16, Paul describes those who profess God but deny Him by deeds — the same outward-inward disconnect as the 'near in mouth, far from reins'.

Deuteronomy 30:14 presents the ideal of God near in mouth and heart — the opposite of Jeremiah's complaint that God is near in mouth but far from heart.

Psalm 92:7 directly affirms that the wicked flourish only to be destroyed — the same paradox Jeremiah laments.

Psalm 94:3 asks 'how long shall the wicked triumph?' — the identical complaint about the prosperity of the ungodly here.

Ecclesiastes 7:15 observes the same injustice — the righteous perish while the wicked live long — matching Jeremiah's complaint.

Psalm 73:27 concludes that those far from God perish — echoing the fate of the hypocritical wicked lamented here.

Psalm 80:9 uses the same planting imagery for God's care of Israel — contrasting with the wicked's hypocritical roots here.

Malachi 3:15 echoes this same complaint: the arrogant prosper and test God without consequence.
