我念諸惡、而彼中心不思、今其所為、繞乎其身、在於我前、

夫我念其惡行、彼之中心、昧然弗覺也、彼之所為、我鑒察之、不能遁於我前、

but they do not realize that I remember all their evil deeds. Their sins engulf them; they are always before me.

But they do not realize that I remember all the evil things they do. Their sins pile up and cover them. I am always aware of their sins.

But they do not consider that I remember all their evil. Now their deeds surround them; they are before my face.

But they never consider that I remember all their evil. Now their actions are all around them; they are right in front of my face.

And they do not consider in their hearts That I remember all their wickedness. Now their deeds surround them; They are before My face.

They do not consider in their hearts That I remember all their wickedness; Now their own deeds have surrounded them; They are before My face.

And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now have their own doings beset them about; they are before my face.

So this is what the Lord says to his people:“ You love to wander far from me and do not restrain yourselves. Therefore, I will no longer accept you as my people. Now I will remember all your wickedness and will punish you for your sins.”

Now the Lord has sworn this oath by his own name, the Pride of Israel:“ I will never forget the wicked things you have done!

The time is coming when everything that is covered up will be revealed, and all that is secret will be made known to all.

Your wickedness will bring its own punishment. Your turning from me will shame you. You will see what an evil, bitter thing it is to abandon the Lord your God and not to fear him. I, the Lord, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, have spoken!

You spread out our sins before you— our secret sins— and you see them all.

I am watching them closely, and I see every sin. They cannot hope to hide from me.

The things my people do are as depraved as what they did in Gibeah long ago. God will not forget. He will surely punish them for their sins.

“ Your own actions have brought this upon you. This punishment is bitter, piercing you to the heart!”

They furnish wine and lovely music at their grand parties— lyre and harp, tambourine and flute— but they never think about the Lord or notice what he is doing.

So don’t make judgments about anyone ahead of time— before the Lord returns. For he will bring our darkest secrets to light and will reveal our private motives. Then God will give to each one whatever praise is due.

You have all wisdom and do great and mighty miracles. You see the conduct of all people, and you give them what they deserve.

The Lord is known for his justice. The wicked are trapped by their own deeds. Quiet Interlude

Do not remember the rebellious sins of my youth. Remember me in the light of your unfailing love, for you are merciful, O Lord.

Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes, and he is the one to whom we are accountable.

The people love to offer sacrifices to me, feasting on the meat, but I do not accept their sacrifices. I will hold my people accountable for their sins, and I will punish them. They will return to Egypt.

“ For God watches how people live; he sees everything they do.

But if you fail to keep your word, then you will have sinned against the Lord, and you may be sure that your sin will find you out.

Even an ox knows its owner, and a donkey recognizes its master’s care— but Israel doesn’t know its master. My people don’t recognize my care for them.”

Though they are young, their bones will lie in the dust.“ They enjoyed the sweet taste of wickedness, letting it melt under their tongue.They savored it, holding it long in their mouths.But suddenly the food in their bellies turns sour, a poisonous venom in their stomach.They will vomit the wealth they swallowed. God won’t let them keep it down.They will suck the poison of cobras. The viper will kill them.They will never again enjoy streams of olive oil or rivers of milk and honey.They will give back everything they worked for. Their wealth will bring them no joy.For they oppressed the poor and left them destitute. They foreclosed on their homes.They were always greedy and never satisfied. Nothing remains of all the things they dreamed about.Nothing is left after they finish gorging themselves. Therefore, their prosperity will not endure.“ In the midst of plenty, they will run into trouble and be overcome by misery.May God give them a bellyful of trouble. May God rain down his anger upon them.When they try to escape an iron weapon, a bronze tipped arrow will pierce them.The arrow is pulled from their back, and the arrowhead glistens with blood. The terrors of death are upon them.Their treasures will be thrown into deepest darkness. A wildfire will devour their goods, consuming all they have left.The heavens will reveal their guilt, and the earth will testify against them.A flood will sweep away their house. God’s anger will descend on them in torrents.This is the reward that God gives the wicked. It is the inheritance decreed by God.”

For the Lord sees clearly what a man does, examining every path he takes.An evil man is held captive by his own sins; they are ropes that catch and hold him.

Oh, that they were wise and could understand this! Oh, that they might know their fate!

Repent, all of you who forget me, or I will tear you apart, and no one will help you.

The person who made the idol never stops to reflect,“ Why, it’s just a block of wood! I burned half of it for heat and used it to bake my bread and roast my meat. How can the rest of it be a god? Should I bow down to worship a piece of wood?”

Lord, in distress we searched for you. We prayed beneath the burden of your discipline.
