Text -- Psalms 50:16-23 (NET)
![](images/arrow_open.gif)
Strongs On/Off
Context
50:16 God says this to the evildoer : “How can you declare my commands , and talk about my covenant ?
50:17 For you hate instruction and reject my words .
50:18 When you see a thief , you join him; you associate with men who are unfaithful to their wives .
50:19 You do damage with words , and use your tongue to deceive .
50:20 You plot against your brother ; you slander your own brother .
50:21 When you did these things, I was silent , so you thought I was exactly like you. But now I will condemn you and state my case against you!
50:22 Carefully consider this , you who reject God ! Otherwise I will rip you to shreds and no one will be able to rescue you.
50:23 Whoever presents a thank-offering honors me. To whoever obeys my commands , I will reveal my power to deliver .”
