18 If you have seen a thief, || Then you are pleased with him, || And your portion [is] with adulterers. If you see a thief, you are pleased with him, and you keep company with adulterers. When you see a thief, you join with him; you throw in your lot with adulterers.

22 Now understand this, || You who are forgetting God, || Lest I tear, and there is no deliverer. “Mark this, then, you who forget God, lest I tear you apart, and there be none to deliver! “Consider this, you who forget God, or I will tear you to pieces, with no one to rescue you:
23 He who is sacrificing praise honors Me, || As for him who makes a way, || I cause him to look on the salvation of God! The one who offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies me; to one who orders his way rightly I will show the salvation of God!” Those who sacrifice thank offerings honor me, and to the blameless I will show my salvation.”
