² And they do not say to their heart, `That' all their evil I have remembered, Now compassed them have their doings, Over-against My face they have been.

¹⁰ Thus said Jehovah concerning this people: Well they have loved to wander, Their feet they have not restrained, And Jehovah hath not accepted them, Now doth He remember their iniquity, And inspect their sin.

¹⁹ Instruct thee doth thy wickedness, And thy backslidings reprove thee, Know and see that an evil and a bitter thing `Is' thy forsaking Jehovah thy God, And My fear not being on thee, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah of Hosts.

⁸ Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, Our hidden things at the light of Thy face,

¹⁶ Jehovah hath been known, Judgment He hath done, By a work of his hands Hath the wicked been snared. Meditation. Selah.

⁷ Sins of my youth, and my transgressions, Do not Thou remember. According to Thy kindness be mindful of me, For Thy goodness' sake, O Jehovah.

¹⁸ Thy way and thy doings have done these to thee, This `is' thy vexation, for `it is' bitter, For it hath struck unto thy heart.

⁹ They have gone deep -- have done corruptly, As `in' the days of Gibeah, He doth remember their iniquity, He doth inspect their sins.

⁷ Sworn hath Jehovah by the excellency of Jacob: `I forget not for ever any of their works.

² and there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known;

⁵ so, then, nothing before the time judge ye, till the Lord may come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of the darkness, and will manifest the counsels of the hearts, and then the praise shall come to each from God.

¹³ and there is not a created thing not manifest before Him, but all things `are' naked and open to His eyes -- with whom is our reckoning.

¹³ The sacrifices of Mine offerings! They sacrifice flesh, and they eat, Jehovah hath not accepted them, Now doth He remember their iniquity, And inspect their sin, They -- `to' Egypt they turn back.

¹⁹ Great in counsel, and mighty in act, in that Thine eyes are open on all the ways of the sons of Adam, to give to each according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:

²³ `And if ye do not so, lo, ye have sinned against Jehovah, and know ye your sin, that it doth find you;

²⁹ If they were wise -- They deal wisely `with' this; They attend to their latter end:

¹¹ His bones have been full of his youth, And with him on the dust it lieth down.

¹² Though he doth sweeten evil in his mouth, Doth hide it under his tongue,

¹³ Hath pity on it, and doth not forsake it, And keep it back in the midst of his palate,

¹⁴ His food in his bowels is turned, The bitterness of asps `is' in his heart.

¹⁵ Wealth he hath swallowed, and doth vomit it. From his belly God driveth it out.

¹⁶ Gall of asps he sucketh, Slay him doth the tongue of a viper.

¹⁷ He looketh not on rivulets, Flowing of brooks of honey and butter.

¹⁸ He is giving back `what' he laboured for, And doth not consume `it'; As a bulwark `is' his exchange, and he exults not.

¹⁹ For he oppressed -- he forsook the poor, A house he hath taken violently away, And he doth not build it.

²⁰ For he hath not known ease in his belly. With his desirable thing he delivereth not himself.

²¹ There is not a remnant to his food, Therefore his good doth not stay.

²² In the fulness of his sufficiency he is straitened. Every perverse hand doth meet him.

²³ It cometh to pass, at the filling of his belly, He sendeth forth against him The fierceness of His anger, Yea, He raineth on him in his eating.

²⁴ He fleeth from an iron weapon, Pass through him doth a bow of brass.

²⁵ One hath drawn, And it cometh out from the body, And a glittering weapon from his gall proceedeth. On him `are' terrors.

²⁶ All darkness is hid for his treasures, Consume him doth a fire not blown, Broken is the remnant in his tent.

²⁷ Reveal do the heavens his iniquity, And earth is raising itself against him.

²⁸ Remove doth the increase of his house, Poured forth in a day of His anger.

²⁹ This `is' the portion of a wicked man from God. And an inheritance appointed him by God.

²¹ For His eyes `are' on the ways of each, And all his steps He doth see.

²² Understand this, I pray you, Ye who are forgetting God, Lest I tear, and there is no deliverer.

²¹ For over-against the eyes of Jehovah are the ways of each, And all his paths He is pondering.

²² His own iniquities do capture the wicked, And with the ropes of his sin he is holden.

³ An ox hath known its owner, And an ass the crib of its master, Israel hath not known, My people hath not understood.

¹² And harp, and psaltery, tabret, and pipe, And wine, have been their banquets, And the work of Jehovah they behold not, Yea, the work of His hands they have not seen.

¹⁷ For Mine eyes `are' upon all their ways, They have not been hidden from My face, Nor hath their iniquity been concealed from before Mine eyes.

¹⁹ And none doth turn `it' back unto his heart, Nor hath knowledge nor understanding to say, `Half of it I have burned in the fire, Yea, also, I have baked bread over its coals, I roast flesh and I eat, And its remnant for an abomination I make, To the stock of a tree I fall down.'

¹⁶ O Jehovah, in distress they missed Thee, They have poured out a whisper, Thy chastisement `is' on them.
