17. Sith thou instruction hat'st,which should thy ways direct;And sith my words behind thy backthou cast'st, and dost reject.
18. When thou a thief didst see,with him thou didst consent;And with the vile adultererspartaker on thou went.
19. Thou giv'st thy mouth to ill,thy tongue deceit doth frame;
20. Thou sitt'st, and 'gainst thy brother speak'st,thy mother's son dost shame.
21. Because I silence kept,while thou these things hast wrought;That I was altogether likethyself, hath been thy thought;Yet I will thee reprove,and set before thine eyes,In order ranked, thy misdeedsand thine iniquities.
22. Now, ye that God forget,this carefully consider;Lest I in pieces tear you all,and none can you deliver.
23. Whoso doth offer praiseme glorifies; and IWill shew him God's salvation,that orders right his way.
