14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; 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 wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth? |
17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind 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 tongue frameth deceit. |
20 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son. |
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 forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver. |
23 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God. |
