“Why bother reciting my decrees
and pretending to obey my covenant?
17 For you refuse my discipline
and treat my words like trash.
18 When you see thieves, you approve of them,
and you spend your time with adulterers.
19 Your mouth is filled with wickedness,
and your tongue is full of lies.
20 You sit around and slander your brother—
your own mother’s son.

and cast my words behind(D) you.
18 When you see a thief, you join(E) with him;
you throw in your lot with adulterers.(F)
19 You use your mouth for evil
and harness your tongue to deceit.(G)
20 You sit and testify against your brother(H)
and slander your own mother’s son.
