9 Praise isn’t proper in the mouth of sinnersbecause it hasn’t been assignedby the Lord.
10 Praise must be spoken in wisdom,and the Lord will cause it to prosper.
11 Don’t say, "I fell away because of the Lord."What the Lord hates, he won’t do.
12 Don’t say, "The Lord made me go astray."He has no use for sinful people.
13 The Lord has hated every foul thing,and those who fear himhave no love for such things.
14 He created humanity at the beginning,and he left them to the powerof their choices.
15 If you choose to,you will keep the commandments,and keep faith out of goodwill.
