# Chapter 50
|
||
1 The Mighty One, God the Lord,
|
||
Has spoken and called the earth
|
||
From the rising of the sun to its going down.
|
||
2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,
|
||
God will shine forth.
|
||
3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silent;
|
||
A fire shall devour before Him,
|
||
And it shall be very tempestuous all around Him.
|
||
4 He shall call to the heavens from above,
|
||
And to the earth, that He may judge His people:
|
||
5 “Gather My saints together to Me,
|
||
Those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.”
|
||
6 Let the heavens declare His righteousness,
|
||
For God Himself is Judge. Selah
|
||
7 “Hear, O My people, and I will speak,
|
||
O Israel, and I will testify against you;
|
||
I am God, your God!
|
||
8 I will not rebuke you for your sacrifices
|
||
Or your burnt offerings,
|
||
Which are continually before Me.
|
||
9 I will not take a bull from your house,
|
||
Nor goats out of your folds.
|
||
10 For every beast of the forest is Mine,
|
||
And the cattle on a thousand hills.
|
||
11 I know all the birds of the mountains,
|
||
And the wild beasts of the field are Mine.
|
||
12 “If I were hungry, I would not tell you;
|
||
For the world is Mine, and all its fullness.
|
||
13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls,
|
||
Or drink the blood of goats?
|
||
14 Offer to God thanksgiving,
|
||
And pay your vows to the Most High.
|
||
15 Call upon Me in the day of trouble;
|
||
I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.”
|
||
16 But to the wicked God says:
|
||
“What right have you to declare My statutes,
|
||
Or take 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 a 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 like you;
|
||
But I will rebuke you,
|
||
And set them in order before your eyes.
|
||
22 “Now consider this, you who forget God,
|
||
Lest I tear you in pieces,
|
||
And there be none to deliver:
|
||
23 Whoever offers praise glorifies Me;
|
||
And to him who orders his conduct aright
|
||
I will show the salvation of God.” |
