² O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.

²² How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

⁷ As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.

³ But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.

¹¹ Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit.

²⁰ Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.

⁶ Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the Lord will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

²⁵ Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

¹¹ Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

²¹ And turn ye not aside: for then should ye go after vain things, which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain.
