- But to the wicked, God says: "What right have you to recite my laws or take my covenant on your lips?
- You hate my instruction and cast my words behind you.
- When you see a thief, you join with him; you throw in your lot with adulterers.
- You use your mouth for evil and harness your tongue to deceit.
- You speak continually against your brother and slander your own mother's son.
|
- But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?
- Seeing thou hatest instruction, and casteth my words behind thee.
- When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.
- Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
- Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son.
|
- These things you have done and I kept silent; you thought I was altogether like you. But I will rebuke you and accuse you to your face.
- "Consider this, you who forget God, or I will tear you to pieces, with none to rescue:
- He who sacrifices thank offerings honors me, and he prepares the way so that I may show him the salvation of God."
|
- These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.
- Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.
- Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.
