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 ^aFor you hate discipline,
^band you cast my words behind you.
18 If 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.
20 You sit and speak against your brother;
you slander your own mother’s son.

Psalms 94:20-21

20 Can ^fwicked rulers be allied with you,
those who frame injustice by ^gstatute?
21 They ^hband together against the life of the righteous
and condemn ⁱthe innocent to death. ^{▼▼Hebrew condemn innocent blood}
