Exegesis
The genitive hypokritōn {ὑποκριτῶν | hu-po-kri-tṓn} is in apposition to humōn, sharpening the charge by labeling them “hypocrites.”
A sharp adversative follows: hē de kardia autōn {ἡ δὲ καρδία αὐτῶν | hē dè kar-dí-a au-tôn}, “but their heart,” shifts focus to the internal center of will and devotion.

But He said to them, “Isaiah rightly prophesied about you hypocrites, as it is written, ‘This people honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me.’”
