19. Thou givest thy mouth to evil. Sins
against the ninth commandment are here mentioned. The man who surrenders
himself to the habit of slander is a vile hypocrite if he assocates himself
with the people of God. And thy tongue frameth deceit. This is a more
deliberate sort of slander, where the man dexterously elaborates false witness,
and concocts methods of defamation. Though such bring their wealth to the
altar, and speak eloquently of truth and of salvation, have they any favor with
God? We should blaspheme the holy God if we were to think so.
