Psalm 50:16-20

Contemporary English Version

¹⁶ But to the wicked I say:
    “You don't have the right
to mention my laws or claim
    to keep our agreement!
¹⁷ You refused correction
    and rejected my commands.
¹⁸ You made friends
    with every crook you met,
and you liked people who break
    their wedding vows.
¹⁹ You talked only about violence
    and told nothing but lies;
²⁰ you sat around gossiping,
ruining the reputation
    of your own relatives.”
