1The Mighty OneH410, GodH430 the LORDH3068,speaksH1696 and summonsH7121 the earthH776from where the sun risesH4217 toH5704 where it setsH3996H8121.2From ZionH6726, perfectH4359 in beautyH3308,GodH430 shines forthH3313.3Our GodH430 approachesH935 and will notH408 be silentH2790!ConsumingH398 fireH784 precedes HimH6440,and a tempestH8175H3966 rages around HimH5439.4He summonsH7121H413 the heavensH8064 aboveH5920H413,and the earthH776, that He may judgeH1777 His peopleH5971:5“GatherH622 to Me My saintsH2623,who madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with MeH5921 by sacrificeH2077.”6And the heavensH8064 proclaimH5046 His righteousnessH6664,forH3588 GodH430 HimselfH1931 is JudgeH8199.1SelahH55427“HearH8085, O My peopleH5971, and I will speakH1696,O IsraelH3478, and I will testifyH5749 against you:IH595 am GodH430, your GodH430.8I do notH3808 rebukeH3198 you forH5921 your sacrificesH2077,and your burnt offeringsH5930 are everH8548 before MeH5048.9I have noH3808 needH3947 for a bullH6499 from your stallH1004or goatsH6260 from your pensH4356,10forH3588 everyH3605 beastH2416 of the forestH3293 is Mine—the cattleH929 on a thousandH505 hillsH2042.11I knowH3045 everyH3605 birdH5775 in the mountainsH2022,and the creaturesH2123 of the fieldH7704 are MineH5978.12IfH518 I were hungryH7456, I would notH3808 tellH559 you,forH3588 the worldH8398 is Mine, and the fullness thereofH4393.13Do I eatH398 the fleshH1320 of bullsH47,or drinkH8354 the bloodH1818 of goatsH6260?14SacrificeH2076 a thank offeringH8426 to GodH430,and fulfillH7999 your vowsH5088 to the Most HighH5945.15Call upon MeH7121 in the dayH3117 of troubleH6869;I will deliver youH2502, and you will honor MeH3513.”
16To the wicked, howeverH7563, GodH430 saysH559,“What rightH4100 have you to reciteH5608 My statutesH2706and to bearH5375 My covenantH1285 onH5921 your lipsH6310?17For youH859 hateH8130 My instructionH4148and castH7993 My wordsH1697 behind youH310.18WhenH518 you seeH7200 a thiefH1590, you befriendH7521 himH5973,and throw in your lotH2506 withH5973 adulterersH5003.19You unleashH7971 your mouthH6310 for evilH7451and harnessH6775 your tongueH3956 to deceitH4820.20You sitH3427 and malignH1696 your brotherH251;youH5414 slanderH1848 your own mother’sH517 sonH1121.21You have doneH6213 these thingsH428, and I kept silentH2790;you thoughtH1819 I wasH19612 just like youH3644.But now I rebuke youH3198and accuse youH6186 to your faceH5869.3
22NowH4994 considerH995 thisH2063, you who forgetH7911 GodH433,lestH6435 I tear you to piecesH2963,with no oneH369 to rescue youH5337:23He who sacrificesH2076 a thank offeringH8426 honors MeH3513,and to him who rightly ordersH7760 his wayH1870,I will showH7200 the salvationH3468 of GodH430.”
