50:1  The Mighty One, God, the Lord, has spoken And summoned the earth, from the rising of the sun to its setting.
50:2  Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God has shone.
50:3  May our God come and not keep silent; Fire devours before Him, And a storm is violently raging around Him.
50:4  He summons the heavens above, And the earth, to judge His people:
50:5  “Gather My godly ones to Me, Those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.”
50:6  And the heavens declare His righteousness, For God Himself is judge. Selah
50:7  “Hear, My people, and I will speak; Israel, I will testify against you; I am God, your God.
50:8  I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices, And your burnt offerings are continually before Me.
50:9  I will not take a bull from your house, Nor male goats from your folds.
50:10  For every animal of the forest is Mine, The cattle on a thousand hills.
50:11  I know every bird of the mountains, And everything that moves in the field is Mine.
50:12  If I were hungry I would not tell you, For the world is Mine, and everything it contains.
50:13  Shall I eat the flesh of bulls Or drink the blood of male goats?
50:14  Offer God a sacrifice of thanksgiving And pay your vows to the Most High;
50:15  Call upon Me on the day of trouble; I will rescue you, and you will honor Me.”
50:16  But to the wicked God says, “What right do you have to tell of My statutes And to take My covenant in your mouth?
50:17  For you yourself hate discipline, And you throw My words behind you.
50:18  When you see a thief, you become friends with him, And you associate with adulterers.
50:19  You let your mouth loose in evil, And your tongue harnesses deceit.
50:20  You sit and speak against your brother; You slander your own mother’s son.
50:21  These things you have done and I kept silent; You thought that I was just like you; I will rebuke you and present the case before your eyes.
50:22  “Now consider this, you who forget God, Or I will tear you in pieces, and there will be no one to save you.
50:23  He who offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving honors Me; And to him who sets his way properly I will show the salvation of God.”
