Contextual Overview
16 But to the wicked God says, What have you to do to declare my statutes, And that you have taken my covenant in your mouth, 17 Seeing you hate instruction, And cast my words behind you? 18 When you saw a thief, you consented with him, And have been partaker with adulterers. 19 You give your mouth to evil, And your tongue frames deceit. 20 You sit and speak against your brother; You slander your own mother's son. 21 These things you have done, and I kept silent; You thought that I was altogether such a one as yourself: [But] I will reprove you, and set [them] in order before your eyes. 22 Now consider this, you that forget God, Or else I will tear you in pieces, and there will be none to deliver: 23 Whoever offers the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies me; And to him that orders his way [aright] I will show 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.
