14 aOffer to God thanksgiving,
And
bpay your vows to the Most High.
15 aCall upon Me in the day of trouble;
I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.”
16 But to the wicked God says:
“What
right have you to declare My statutes,
Or take My covenant in your mouth,
17 aSeeing you hate instruction
And cast My words behind you?
18 When you saw a thief, you
aconsented with him,
And have been a
bpartaker with adulterers.
19 You give your mouth to evil,
And
ayour tongue frames deceit.
20 You sit
and speak against your brother;
You slander your own mother’s son.
