15. And call upon me in the day of tribulation. I will rescue you, and you will honor me.
16. But to the sinner, God has said: Why do you discourse on my justices, and take up my covenant through your mouth?
17. Truly, you have hated discipline, and you have cast my sermons behind you.
18. If you saw a thief, you ran with him, and you have placed your portion with adulterers.
19. Your mouth has abounded with malice, and your tongue has concocted deceits.
20. Sitting, you spoke against your brother, and you set up a scandal against your mother's son.
21. These things you have done, and I was silent. You thought, unjustly, that I ought to be like you. But I will reprove you, and I will set myself against your face.
22. Understand these things, you who forget God; lest at any time, he might quickly take you away, and there would be no one to rescue you.
23. The sacrifice of praise will honor me. And in that place is the journey by which I will reveal to him the salvation of God.
