14 Present to God a thank-offering!Repay your vows to the sovereign One!
15 Pray to me when you are in trouble!I will deliver you, and you will honor me!”
16 God says this to the evildoer:“How can you declare my commands,and talk about my covenant?
17 For you hate instructionand reject my words.
18 When you see a thief, you join him;you associate with men who are unfaithful to their wives.
19 You do damage with words,and use your tongue to deceive.
20 You plot against your brother;you slander your own brother.
