50:12 If I had need of food, I would not give you word of it; for the earth is mine and all its wealth.
50:13 Am I to take the flesh of the ox for my food, or the blood of goats for my drink?
50:14 Make an offering of praise to God; keep the agreements which you have made with the Most High;
50:15 Let your voice come up to me in the day of trouble; I will be your saviour, so that you may give glory to me.
50:16 But to the sinner, God says, What are you doing, talking of my laws, or taking the words of my agreement in your mouth?
50:17 Seeing that you have no desire for my teaching, turning your back on my words.
50:18 When you saw a thief, you were in agreement with him, and you were joined with those who took other men's wives
.
50:19 You have given your mouth to evil, your tongue to words of deceit.
50:20 You say evil of your brother; you make false statements against your mother's son.
50:21 These things have you done, and I said nothing; it seemed to you that I was such a one as yourself; but I will make a protest against you, and put them in order before your eyes.
50:22 Now keep this in mind, you who have no memory of God, for fear that you may be crushed under my hand, with no one to give you help:
50:23 Whoever makes an offering of praise gives glory to me; and to him who is upright in his ways I will make clear the salvation of God.
