Contextual Overview
16 But, to the lawless one, God saith, What hast, thou, to do, to recount my statutes? Or that thou hast taken up my covenant upon thy mouth? 17 Seeing that, thou, hast hated correction, And hast cast my words behind thee; 18 If thou sawest a thief, then didst thou run with him, - And, with adulterers, hath been thy chosen life; 19 Thy mouth, hast thou thrust into wickedness, And, thy tongue, kept weaving deceit; 20 Thou wouldst sit down - Against thine own brother, wouldst thou speak, Against thine own mother's son, wouldst thou expose a fault: - 21 These things, hast thou done, and I have kept silence, Thou thoughtest that I should really be like thyself, I will convict thee, yea I will set thine offences in order before thine eyes. 22 Understand this, I pray you, ye forgetters of GOD, Lest I tear in pieces, and there be none to deliver: - 23 He that sacrificeth a thankoffering, will glorify me, - And will prepare a way by which I may 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, “thou sendest.” 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 “frameth” 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.
