Summon me in the day of distress, I will rescue you, so will you honor me.”
16 Tedae Pathen loh halang te, “Ka oltlueh aka tae ham neh na ka dongah ka paipi aka khuen nang te bahamlae?
But to the wicked God says: “What right have you to talk of my statutes, or take my covenant into your mouth
17 Thuituennah na hmuhuet tih ka ol he na hnukla na voeih.
while you yourself hate correction, and cast my words behind you?
18 Hlanghuen na hmuh vaengah, anih taeng neh na hamsum dongkah, samphaih rhoek taengah na ngaingaih.
When you see a thief, you run with them; with adulterers you keep company.

21 Hekah he na saii vaengah ka omlip hatah namah bangla om khaw om ni tila na poek. Nang te kan tluung vetih na mikhmuh ah kan yan ni.
And because I kept silence at this, you did take me for one like yourself. But I will convict you and show you plainly.
22 He he Pathen aka hnilh rhoek loh yakming uh laeh. Kam poel vetih aka huul om pawt ve.
“Now you who forget God, mark this, lest I rend you, past hope of deliverance.
23 Uemonah aka nawn loh kai n'thangpom tih longpuei a rhoek a bah dongah Pathen kah daemnah te anih ka tueng ni,” a ti.
Those who bring a thank-offering honor me; but to those: who follows my way, I will show the salvation of God.”
