Psalms 50:16-21
16But to the wicked God says:“What right have you to recite my statutes
or take my covenant on your lips?
17 aFor you hate discipline,
band you cast my words behind you.
18If you see a thief, cyou are pleased with him,
dand you keep company with adulterers.
19“You give your mouth free rein for evil,
eand your tongue frames deceit.
20You sit and speak against your brother;
you slander your own mother’s son.
21These things you have done, and I fhave been silent;
you thought that I ▼ was one like yourself.
But now I hrebuke you and ilay the charge before you.
