18 When you saw a thief, you (A)consented[a] with him,
And have been a (B)partaker with adulterers.
19 You give your mouth to evil,
And (C)your tongue frames deceit.
20 You sit and speak against your brother;
You slander your own mother’s son.
21 These things you have done, and I kept silent;
(D)You thought that I was altogether like you;
But I will rebuke you,
And (E)set them in order before your eyes.

But I now arraign(F) you
    and set my accusations(G) before you.
