16To the wicked, however, God says,
“What right have you to recite My statutes
and to bear My covenant on your lips?
17For you hate My instruction
and cast My words behind you.
18When you see a thief, you befriend him,
and throw in your lot with adulterers.
19You unleash your mouth for evil
and unharness your tongue for deceit.
20You sit and malign your brother;
you slander your own mother’s son.
— Psalm 50:16-20
