Psalms 50:18-20

18 When you see a thief, you join him;
Heb “you run with him.”

you associate with men who are unfaithful to their wives.
Heb “and with adulterers [is] your portion.”

19 You do damage with words,
Heb “your mouth you send with evil.”

and use your tongue to deceive.
Heb “and your tongue binds together [i.e., “frames”] deceit.”

20 You plot against your brother;
Heb “you sit, against your brother you speak.” To “sit” and “speak” against someone implies plotting against that person (see Ps 119:23).

you slander your own brother.
Heb “against the son of your mother you give a fault.”
