14. Offer praise as your sacrifice to God;fulfill your vows to the Most High.
15. Then call on me on the day of distress;I will rescue you, and you shall honor me.”
16. But to the wicked God says:“Why do you recite my commandmentsand profess my covenant with your mouth?
17. You hate discipline;you cast my words behind you!
18. If you see a thief, you run with him;with adulterers you throw in your lot.
19. You give your mouth free rein for evil;you yoke your tongue to deceit.
20. You sit and speak against your brother,slandering your mother’s son.
