| 50:1
| The mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from
the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
|
| 50:2
| Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.
|
| 50:3
| Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour
before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.
|
| 50:4
| He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may
judge his people.
|
| 50:5
| Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with
me by sacrifice.
|
| 50:6
| And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge
himself. Selah.
|
| 50:7
| Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify
against thee: I am God, even thy God.
|
| 50:8
| I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to
have been continually before me.
|
| 50:9
| I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds.
|
| 50:10
| For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand
hills.
|
| 50:11
| I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field
are mine.
|
| 50:12
| If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the
fulness thereof.
|
| 50:13
| Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
|
| 50:14
| Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:
|
| 50:15
| And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou
shalt glorify me.
|
| 50:16
| But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my
statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?
|
| 50:17
| Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee.
|
| 50:18
| When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been
partaker with adulterers.
|
| 50:19
| Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
|
| 50:20
| Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own
mother's son.
|
| 50:21
| These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I
was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set
them in order before thine eyes.
|
| 50:22
| Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and
there be none to deliver.
|
| 50:23
| Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his
conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.
