Psalm 50:16-23

Amplified Bible

¹⁶ 
But to the wicked God says:
“What right have you to recite My statutes
Or to take My covenant on your lips?
¹⁷ 
“For you hate instruction and discipline
And cast My words behind you [discarding them].
¹⁸ 
“When you see a thief, you are pleased with him and condone his behavior,
And you associate with adulterers.
¹⁹ 
“You give your mouth to evil
And 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 kept silent;
You thought that I was just like you.
Now I will reprimand and denounce you and state the case in order before your eyes.

²² 
“Now consider this, you who forget God,
Or I will tear you in pieces, and there will be no one to rescue [you].
²³ 
“He who offers a sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving honors Me;
And to him who orders his way rightly [who follows the way that I show him],
I shall show the salvation of God.”
