|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 1 God, the all-powerful one, speaks;
|
|
|
|
|
\q1 he summons all people,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 from the east to the west.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 2 His glory shines from Mount Zion in Jerusalem,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 an extremely beautiful city.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 3 Our God comes to us,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 and he is not silent.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1 A great fire is in front of him,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 and a storm is around him.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 4 He comes to judge his people.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1 He shouts to the angels in heaven
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 and to the people on the earth.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 5 He says, "Summon those who faithfully worship me,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 those who made a covenant with me by offering sacrifices to me."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 6 The angels in heaven declare,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 "God is righteous,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 and he is the supreme judge."
|

\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 7 God says, "My people, listen!
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 You Israelite people, listen,
|
|
|
|
|
\q1 as I, your God, say what you have done that is wrong.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 8 I am not rebuking you for making sacrifices to me,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 for the offerings that you always burn on the altar for me.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 9 But I do not really need the bulls from your barns
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 and the goats from your pens that you sacrifice,
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 10 because all the animals in the forest belong to me,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 and all the cattle on a thousand hills also belong to me.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 11 I know and own all the birds in the mountains,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 and all the creatures that move around in the fields.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 12 So if I were hungry, I would not tell you to bring me some food
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 because everything in the world belongs to me!
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 13 I do not eat the flesh of the bulls that you sacrifice,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 and I do not drink the blood of the goats that you offer to me.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 14 The sacrifice that I really want is that you thank me
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 and do all that you have promised to do.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 15 Pray to me when you have troubles.
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 If you do that, I will rescue you, and then you will praise me.

\s5

|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 16 But I say this to the wicked people:
|
|
|
|
|
\q1 Why do you recite my commandments
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 or talk about the covenant that I made with you?
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 17 For you have refused to allow me to discipline you,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 and you have rejected what I told you to do.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|

\s5

|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 18 Every time that you see a thief, you become his friend,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 and you spend much time with those who commit adultery.

|
\v 19 You are always talking about doing wicked things,
|
2016-04-01 21:07:40 +00:00
|
|
|
\q2 and you are always trying to deceive people.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 20 You are always accusing members of your own family
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 and slandering them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 21 You did all those things, and I did not say anything to you,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 so you thought that I was a sinner just like you.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1 But now I rebuke you and accuse you, right in front of you.
|
|
|
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 22 So, all you who have ignored me, pay attention to this,
|
|
|
|
|
\q1 because if you do not, I will tear you to pieces,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 and there will be no one to rescue you.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 23 The sacrifice that truly honors me is to thank me for what I have done;
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 and I will save those who always do the things that I want them to."
