The Lorde euen the most myghtye
God hath spoken, and called the
world from the rysyng vp of the
sonne vnto the goyng downe therof.
noteOut of Syon hath
God apeared in perfecte bewtye.
Oure God shall come, and shall not kepe
sylence: there shall go before hym a consumynge
fyre, and a myghtye tempest shalbe
stered vp rounde aboute hym.
He shall call the heauen from aboue, and
the earth, that he maye iudge hys people.
Gather my saynctes together vnto me,
those that haue made a couenaunt with me,
wyth sacrifyce.
B And the heauens shall declare
hys ryghteousnesse, for God is iudge
hym selfe. Sela.
Heare, O my people: and I wyll speake, I
-- --
my selfe will testifye agaynst the, O Israel,
For I am God, eu&ebar; thy God. I wyll not
reproue the because of thy sacryfyces, or for
thy burntoffrynges, because they were not
allwaye before me. noteI wyll take no bullock
out of thy house, ner he goates out of
thy foldes. For all the beastes of the forest
are myne, ∧ so are the catell vp&obar; a thousande
hylles. I knowe all the foules vpon the
mountaynes, ∧ the wylde beastes of the feld
are in my syght. If I be hongrye I wyll
not tell the: for note the whole worlde is myne,
and all that therin is. Thinkest thou, that
I wyll eat bulles flesh and drincke the bloud
of goates?
C Offre vnto God thanckesgeuynge,
and paye thy vowes vnto the most
hyest. And note call vp&obar; me in þe; tyme of trouble,
so wyll I heare the, and thou shalt prayse
me. But vnto the vngodly sayed God.
Why doest thou preach my lawes, ∧ takest
my couenaunt in thy mouth? Where as þu;
hatest to be refourmed, ∧ hast cast my wordes
behynd the? Whan thou sawest a thefe,
thou c&obar;sentedest vnto hym, and hast bene
partaker wyth þe; aduouterers. Thou hast
let thy mouth speake wickednesse, and with
thy tong thou hast set forth disceat.
D Thou
sattest and spakest agaynst thy brother, yee,
∧ hast scla&ubar;dred thine awne mothers sonne.
These thynges hast thou done, ∧ I helde
my tonge: ∧ thou thoughtest (wyckedly) that I
am eu&ebar; soch a one as thy selfe: but I wyll reproue
the, and set before the, the thinges that
thou hast done. O c&obar;sydre this, ye that forget
God: lest I plucke you awaye, and there
be none to delyuer you. Who so offreth me
th&abar;ckes and prayse, he honoureth me: and to
hym that ordreth hys conuersacyon ryght
wyll I shewe the saluacyon of God.
