17Thou, who hatest instruction And castest my words behind thee!
18When thou seest a thief, thou art in friendship with him, And hast fellowship with adulterers.
19Thou lettest loose thy mouth to evil, And thy tongue frameth deceit;
20Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; Thou slanderest thine own mother's son.
21These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; Hence thou thoughtest that I was altogether like thyself: But I will reprove thee, and set it in order before thine eyes.
22Mark this, ye that forget God, Lest I tear you in pieces, and none deliver you!
23Whoso offereth praise honoreth me; And to him who hath regard to his ways Will I show salvation from God.”
