15 Then call on me on the day of distress;I will rescue you, and you shall honor me.”
16 But to the wicked God says:“Why do you recite my commandmentsand profess my covenant with your mouth?
17 You hate discipline;you cast my words behind you!
18 If you see a thief, you run with him;with adulterers you throw in your lot.
19 You give your mouth free rein for evil;you yoke your tongue to deceit.
20 You sit and speak against your brother,slandering your mother’s son.
21 When you do these things should I be silent?Do you think that I am like you?I accuse you, I lay out the matter before your eyes.
