15. God says, “Call me when trouble comes. I will help you, and you will honor me.”
16. But God says to the wicked, “Stop quoting my laws! Stop talking about my agreement!
17. You hate for me to tell you what to do. You ignore what I say.
18. You see a thief and run to join him. You jump into bed with those who commit adultery.
19. You say evil things and tell lies.
20. You sit around talking about people, finding fault with your own brothers.
21. When you did these things, I said nothing. So you thought that I was just like you. But I will not be quiet any longer. I will correct you and make clear what I have against you.
22. You people who have forgotten God, understand what I am telling you, or I will tear you apart, and no one will be able to save you!
