16But to the sinner, God says, What are you doing, talking of my laws, or taking the words of my agreement in your mouth?
17Seeing that you have no desire for my teaching, turning your back on my words.
18When you saw a thief, you were in agreement with him, and you were joined with those who took other men's wives.
19You have given your mouth to evil, your tongue to words of deceit.
20You say evil of your brother; you make false statements against your mother's son.
21These things have you done, and I said nothing; it seemed to you that I was such a one as yourself; but I will make a protest against you, and put them in order before your eyes.
22Now keep this in mind, you who have no memory of God, for fear that you may be crushed under my hand, with no one to give you help:
