In His Mouth and Lips They Honored Me, But His Heart Was Far From Me
Figuratively: Hypocrisy or lack of sincerity. "His mouth and heart are not equal." The giving of honor outwardly while inwardly there is contempt or lack of genuine appreciation.
("And the LORD said, Because this people draw near with their mouth and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me, and their fear of Me is a commandment of men learned" - Isaiah 29:13)
