The Definition of the word Hypocrite

Hypocrite

One who puts on a mask and feigns himself to be what he is not; a dissembler in religion. Our Lord severely rebuked the scribes "and Pharisees for their hypocrisy (Matt. 6:2, 5, 16). "The" "hypocrite's hope shall perish" (Job 8:13). The Hebrew word here" "rendered "hypocrite" rather means the "godless" or "profane," as" "it is rendered in Jer. 23:11, i.e., polluted with crimes."
