13. Will I eat the flesh of bulls,Or drink the blood of goats?
14. Offer to God thanksgiving,And pay your vows to the Most High.
15. Call upon Me in the day of trouble;I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.”
16. But to the wicked God says:“What right have you to declare My statutes,Or take My covenant in your mouth,
17. Seeing you hate instructionAnd cast My words behind you?
18. When you saw a thief, you consented with him,And have been a partaker with adulterers.
19. You give your mouth to evil,And your tongue frames deceit.
