“What right have you to recite my statutes
or take my covenant on your lips?(B)
17 For you hate discipline,
and you cast my words behind you.(C)
18 You make friends with a thief when you see one,
and you keep company with adulterers.(D)
19 You give your mouth free rein for evil,
and your tongue frames deceit.
20 You sit and speak against your kin;
you slander your own mother’s child.(E)
21 These things you have done, and I have been silent;
you thought that I was one just like yourself.
But now I rebuke you and lay the charge before you.(F)

and harness your tongue to deceit.(K)

and slander your own mother’s son.
21 When you did these things and I kept silent,(M)

But I now arraign(N) you
and set my accusations(O) before you.
