17. Suppose you call yourself a Jew. You trust in the law. You brag that you are close to God.
18. You know what God wants. You agree with what is best because the law teaches you.
19. You are sure you can lead people who are blind. You are sure you are a light for those who are in the dark.
20. You claim to be able to teach foolish people. You can even teach babies. You think that in the law you have all knowledge and truth.
21. You teach others. But you don't teach yourself! You preach against stealing. But you steal!
22. You say that people should not commit adultery. But you commit adultery! You hate statues of gods. But you rob temples!
23. You brag about the law. But when you break it, you rob God of his honor!
