Psalms 50:16-20

16 But to the wicked God says:
“What right have you to recite my statutes
or take my covenant on your lips?
17 ^dFor you hate discipline,
^eand you cast my words behind you.
18 If you see a thief, ^fyou are pleased with him,
^gand you keep company with adulterers.
19 “You give your mouth free rein for evil,
^hand your tongue frames deceit.
20 You sit and speak against your brother;
you slander your own mother’s son.

Matthew 7:1-5

Judging Others

1 ⁱ“Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 ^jFor with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and ^kwith the measure you use it will be measured to you. 3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but ^ldo not notice the log that is in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.
