50:1 The Mighty One, God, Jehovah, 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 forth.

50:3 Our God cometh, and doth not keep silence: A fire devoureth before him, And it is very tempestuous round about him.

50:4 He calleth to the heavens 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 unto thee: I am God, [even] thy God.

50:8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices; And thy burnt-offerings are continually before me.

50:11 I know all the birds of the mountains; And the wild beasts of the field are mine.

50:17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, And castest my words behind thee?

50:18 When thou sawest a thief, 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 a 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:
