26 No one knows right from wrong or shows gratitude or cares about anyone else; all of them are sexual perverts or share weird marriage unions or are otherwise completely disgusting.
27 The worship of worthless idols is the cause and result of all kinds of evil.
28 Their worshipers act crazy, or give false messages in the name of God, or live sinful lives. They never speak the truth, and they tell lies in court
29 because they trust in these lifeless idols and don't expect to be punished.
30 But they will be punished for worshiping idols instead of you, the Holy God, and for disgracing you with their deceitful lies.
31 Sinners don't receive help from the idols they worship, but the penalty for their sins follows them in hot pursuit.
