Psalm 50:16-21
New American Standard Bible
16 But to the wicked God says,
“What right do you have to tell of My statutes
And to take (A)My covenant in your mouth?
17 For you yourself (B)hate discipline,
And you (C)throw My words behind you.
18 When you see a thief, you (D)become friends with him,
And [a]you (E)associate with adulterers.
19 You [b](F)let your mouth loose in evil,
And your (G)tongue harnesses deceit.
20 You sit and (H)speak against your brother;
You slander your own mother’s son.
21 These things you have done and (I)I kept silent;
You thought that I was just like you;
I will (J)rebuke you and present the case before your eyes.
