14Offer unto God the sacrifice of thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the Most High;
15And call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt honour Me.'
16But unto the wicked God saith: 'What hast thou to do to declare My statutes, and that thou hast taken My covenant in thy mouth?
17Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest My words behind thee.
18When thou sawest a thief, thou hadst company with him, and with adulterers was thy portion.
19Thou hast let loose thy mouth for evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
