And call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt honour Me.'
16
But unto the wicked G-d saith: 'What hast thou to do to declare My statutes, and that thou hast taken My covenant in thy mouth?
17
Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest My words behind thee.
18
When thou sawest a thief, thou hadst company with him, and with adulterers was thy portion.
19
Thou hast let loose thy mouth for 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 should I have kept silence? Thou hadst thought that I was altogether such a one as thyself; but I will reprove thee, and set the cause before thine eyes.
22
Now consider this, ye that forget G-d, lest I tear in pieces, and there be none to deliver.
23
Whoso offereth the sacrifice of thanksgiving honoureth Me; and to him that ordereth his way aright will I show the salvation of G-d.'
