Bible verse
You unleash your mouth for evil and unharness your tongue for deceit.
Psalm 50:19 · BSB
The verses around it, from Psalm 50.
15 Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor Me.”
16 To the wicked, however, God says, “What right have you to recite My statutes and to bear My covenant on your lips?
17 For you hate My instruction and cast My words behind you.
18 When you see a thief, you befriend him, and throw in your lot with adulterers.
19 You unleash your mouth for evil and unharness your tongue for deceit.
20 You sit and malign your brother; you slander your own mother’s son.
21 You have done these things, and I kept silent; you thought I was just like you. But now I rebuke you and accuse you to your face.
22 Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you to pieces, with no one to rescue you:
23 He who sacrifices a thank offering honors Me, and to him who rights his way, I will show the salvation of God.”
