| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18When you see a thief, you befriend him, and you keep company with adulterers. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19You give your mouth free reign for evil, and your tongue devises deceit. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20You sit and speak against your brother; you slander your own mother's son. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21These things you did, and I kept silent, because you assumed that I was like you. But now I am going to rebuke you, and I will set forth my case before your very own eyes." |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22Consider this, you who have forgotten God— Otherwise, I will tear you in pieces and there will be no deliverer: |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23Whoever offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies me, and I will reveal the salvation of God to whomever continues in my way." |
