16But God says to the wicked:“What right do you have to recite my statutesand to take my covenant on your lips? 17You hate instructionand fling my words behind you. 18When you see a thief,you make friends with him,and you associate with adulterers. 19You unleash your mouth for eviland harness your tongue for deceit.20You sit, maligning your brother,slandering your mother’s son. 21You have done these things, and I kept silent;you thought I was just like you.But I will rebuke youand lay out the case before you. 22“Understand this, you who forget God,or I will tear you apart,and there will be no one to rescue you. 23Whoever sacrifices a thank offering honors me,and whoever orders his conduct,I will show him the salvation of God.”

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Thou givest thy mouth to evil,.... To speak evil things against Christ, his doctrines, ordinances, ministers and people; and to deliver out evil doctrines, pernicious to the souls of men;
and thy tongue frameth deceit; puts and joins together deceitful words in a very artful manner, by which simple and unstable minds are beguiled.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Thou givest thy mouth to evil - Margin, as in Hebrew, âthou sendest.â That is, they gave it up to evil; they employed it in evil: in falsehood, malice, deceit, slander, deception, detraction.
And thy tongue frameth deceit - The word rendered âframethâ means properly to bind, to fasten; and then, to contrive, to frame. The meaning is, that it was employed in the work of deceit; that is, it was employed in devising and executing purposes of fraud and falsehood.
