16 But to the wicked God says:
    “What right have you to recite my statutes
    or take my covenant on your lips?
17 (A)For you hate discipline,
    (B)and you cast my words behind you.
18 If you see a thief, (C)you are pleased with him,
    (D)and you keep company with adulterers.

19 “You give your mouth free rein for evil,
    (E)and 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 (F)have been silent;
    you thought that I[a] was one like yourself.
But now I (G)rebuke you and (H)lay the charge before you.

22 “Mark this, then, you who (I)forget God,
    lest I tear you apart, and there be (J)none to deliver!
23 The one who (K)offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies me;
    to one who (L)orders his way rightly
    I will show the (M)salvation of God!”
