14
Offer unto Godthanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:
15
And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
16
But unto the wickedGodsaith , What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?
17
Seeing thou hatestinstruction, and castest my wordsbehind thee.
18
When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers .
19
Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongueframethdeceit.
20
Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother;thouslanderest thine own mother'sson.
21
These things hast thou done , and I kept silence ; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.
22
Now consider this, ye that forgetGod, lest I tear you in pieces , and there be none to deliver .
23
Whoso offerethpraiseglorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.
