Psalms 50:16-21

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.
21 These things you have done, and I ^fhave been silent;
you thought that I ^{▼▼Or that the I am} was one like yourself.
But now I ^hrebuke you and ⁱlay the charge before you.
