14 Offre pour sacrifice à Dieu des actions de grâces, Et accomplis tes vœux envers le Très-Haut.

15 Et invoque-moi au jour de la détresse; Je te délivrerai, et tu me glorifieras.

16 Et Dieu dit au méchant: Quoi donc! Tu énumères mes lois, Et tu as mon alliance à la bouche,

17 Toi qui hais les avis, Et qui jettes mes paroles derrière toi!

18 Si tu vois un voleur, tu te plais avec lui, Et ta part est avec les adultères.
