15 Call to me when trouble comes;I will save you,and you will praise me.”
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 see,and 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 am like you.But now I reprimand youand make the matter plain to you.
