¹⁶ But unto the wicked God saith,
What hast thou to do to declare my statutes,
And that thou hast taken my covenant in thy mouth,
¹⁷ Seeing that thou hatest ^[a]instruction,
And castest my words behind thee?
¹⁸ When thou sawest a thief, thou consentedst with him,
And ^[b]hast been partaker with adulterers.
