16 But unto the wicked God saith, What part hast thou to declare my statutes or that thou should take my covenant in thy mouth?
17 Seeing thou dost hate chastening and dost cast my words behind thee.
18 When thou didst see a thief, then thou didst consent with him and hast been partaker with adulterers.
19 Thou didst give thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frames deceit.
20 Thou didst sit and speak against thy brother; thou didst slander thine own mother’s son.
21 These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou didst think that I was altogether such a one as thyself, but I will reprove thee and set them in order before thine eyes.
22 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I take you away, and there be none to deliver.
