Context of Psalms 50:19
17For you hate discipline, And you cast My words behind you. 18When you see a thief, you are pleased with him, And you associate with adulterers. You let your mouth loose in evil And your tongue frames deceit. 20You sit and speak against your brother; You slander your own mother’s son. 21These things you have done and I kept silence; You thought that I was just like you; I will reprove you and state the case in order before your eyes.
