"Make a great show of (doing something)" = tạo nên một chương trình tuyệt vời -> hành động, thể hiện phô trương để gây sự chú ý. 

Ví dụ 
You were not at all like the modern healing evangelists (nhà truyền giáo), who invite disabled people to come to their meetings, and make a great show of healing them in public.

Hypocrites (kẻ đạo đức giả) may and often do make a great show of religion in profession (bày tỏ) and words which are cheap, and in those actions in which there is no great difficulty or suffering (đau khổ); but they have not a suffering spirit... 

If this reading be approved, "Israel, return to me," the intimation (gợi ý) is, that they ever took circuitous (đường vòng) courses, that they might not return directly to God: for it is usual with hypocrites to make a great show of repentance (ân hận) and at the same time to shun (lảng tránh) God.
