What meaneth

for in his own eyes he flatters himself too much
to discover and hate his sin.

But God says to the wicked:
“What right do you have to recite My statutes
and to take My covenant on your lips?

Now what will you gain
by traveling along the way to Egypt
to drink the waters of the Nile?
What will you gain
by traveling along the way to Assyria
to drink the waters of the Euphrates?

“Your words against Me are harsh,” says the Lord.

Yet you ask: “What have we spoken against You?”

“He told him, ‘I will judge you by what you have said, you evil slave! If you knew I was a tough man, collecting what I didn’t deposit and reaping what I didn’t sow,

Now we know that whatever the law says speaks to those who are subject to the law,

so that every mouth may be shut and the whole world may become subject to God’s judgment.

Therefore don’t judge anything prematurely, before the Lord comes, who will both bring to light what is hidden in darkness and reveal the intentions of the hearts. And then praise will come to each one from God.
