Context of Psalms 50:18
16But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, And that thou hast taken my covenant in thy mouth, 17Seeing that thou hatest instruction, And castest my words behind thee? When thou sawest a thief, thou consentedst with him, And hast been partaker with adulterers. 19Thou givest thy mouth to evil, And thy tongue frameth deceit. 20Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; Thou slanderest thine own mother’s son.
