16 (But God says to the wicked:)
"But how can you recite my commandments
and take my covenant on your lips,
17 you who despise my law
and throw my words to the winds,
18 you who see a thief and go with him;
who throw in your lot with adulterers,
19 who unbridle your mouth for evil
and whose tongue is plotting crime,
20 you who sit and malign your brother
and slander your own mother's son.
21 You do this, and should I keep silence?
Do you think that I am like you?
22 Mark this, you who never think of God,
lest I seize you and you cannot escape;
23 a sacrifice of thanksgiving honors me
and I will show God's salvation to the upright."
