12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fullness thereof.
13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
14 Offer to God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows to the Most High:
15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
16 But to the wickedGod saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?
17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee.
18 When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.
19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
20 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thy own mother's son.
21 These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.
22 Now consider this, ye that forgetGod, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.
23 Whoever offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his deportment aright will I show the salvation of God.
