Psalms 50:12-20

¹²If I were hungry, I would not say it to thee; for mine is the world, and what filleth it.

¹³Do I eat the flesh of fatted bulls, or drink the blood of he-goats?

¹⁴Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay unto the Most High thy vows;

¹⁵And call on me on the day of distress: I will deliver thee,— and so wilt thou glorify me.”

¹⁶But unto the wicked God saith, “What hast thou to do to relate my statutes, and why bearest thou my covenant upon thy mouth?

¹⁷And yet thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee.

¹⁸When thou seest a thief, then art thou pleased with him, and with adulterers hast thou thy portion.

¹⁹Thou lettest loose thy mouth with evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.

²⁰Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; against thy own mother's son thou utterest slander.
