Psalm 50:16-18

Good News Translation

¹⁶ But God says to the wicked,
    “Why should you recite my commandments?
    Why should you talk about my covenant?
¹⁷ You refuse to let me correct you;
    you reject my commands.
¹⁸ You become the friend of every thief you see,
    and you associate with adulterers.
