50

Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother"s son.

Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.

When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.

Seeing thou hatest instruction, and casteth my words behind thee.

But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?

And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:

Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?

If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.

I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.

For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.

I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds.

I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me.

Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God.

And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. Selah.

Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.

He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.

Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.

Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.

The mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.

So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.

And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.

And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

And Joseph saw Ephraim"s children of the third generation: the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up upon Joseph"s knees.

And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father"s house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years.

Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.

But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.

And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?

And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants.

So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.
