14 Offer God a sacrifice of thanksgiving!Fulfill the promisesyou made to the Most High!
15 Cry out to me whenever you are in trouble;I will deliver you, then you will honor me."
16 But to the wicked God says,"Why do you talk about my laws?Why do you even mention my covenant?
17 You hate discipline, andyou toss my words behind your back.
18 You make friends with thieves whenever you see one;you spend your time with adulterers.
19 You set your mouth free to do evil,then harness your tongue to tell lies.
20 You sit around, talking about your own siblings;you find fault with the children of your very own mother.
