16 But God says to the wicked,“Why should you recite my commandments?Why should you talk about my covenant?
17 You refuse to let me correct you;you reject my commands.
18 You become the friend of every thief you seeand you associate with adulterers.
19 “You are always ready to speak evil;you never hesitate to tell lies.
20 You are ready to accuse your own relativesand to find fault with them.
21 You have done all this, and I have said nothing,so you thought that I was like you.But now I reprimand youand make the matter plain to you.
22 “Listen to this, you that ignore me,or I will destroy you,and there will be no one to save you.
