14. ‘Sacrifice thank-offerings to God,fulfil your vows to the Most High,
15. and call on me in the day of trouble;I will deliver you, and you will honour me.’
16. But to the wicked person, God says:‘What right have you to recite my lawsor take my covenant on your lips?
17. You hate my instructionand cast my words behind you.
18. When you see a thief, you join with him;you throw in your lot with adulterers.
19. You use your mouth for eviland harness your tongue to deceit.
