Context of Psalms 50:19
17For you hate my teaching, and you refuse to accept my message. 18If you see a robber, you run to help him! You become friends with adulterers. You speak about evil things, and you are always telling lies. 20You say bad things about your own brother, and you speak against your own family! 21You did all these things, and I said nothing. So you thought that I was as bad as you are. But now I am warning you! I will tell you clearly what you have done wrong.
