我弗譴爾、遂謂我與人無異、我必責爾、彰爾罪戾兮、

爾行此事、我暫時未言、爾以為我與爾無異、其實我必責罰爾、將爾之罪惡、列在爾之目前、

爾罪參在上。吾暫守緘默。遂謂吾無見。與爾為同德。詎知時已屆。將降爾顯罰。罪孽彰在目。何由逭爾責。

When you did these things and I kept silent, you thought I was exactly like you. But I now arraign you and set my accusations before you.

These things you have done, and I have been silent; you thought that I was one like yourself. But now I rebuke you and lay the charge before you.

While you did all this, I remained silent, and you thought I didn’t care. But now I will rebuke you, listing all my charges against you.

You have done these things, and I kept silent; you thought I was just like you. But I will rebuke you and lay out the case before you.

These things you have done and I kept silent; You thought that I was just like you; I will rebuke you and present the case before your eyes.

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!

You have done these things, and I kept silent. You thought that I was just like you. I will rebuke you, and accuse you in front of your eyes.

“ Who are you so afraid of that you have not been faithful to me? You have not remembered me. What you do doesn’t even bother you. I have not punished you for a long time. That is why you are not afraid of me.

You have put our sins right in front of you. You have placed our secret sins where you can see them clearly.

Whoever still won’t obey after being warned many times will suddenly be destroyed. Nothing can save them.

Do you disrespect God’s great kindness and favor? Do you disrespect God when he is patient with you? Don’t you realize that God’s kindness is meant to turn you away from your sins?But you are stubborn. In your heart you are not sorry for your sins. You are storing up anger against yourself. The day of God’s anger is coming. Then his way of judging fairly will be shown.

Sometimes the sentence for a crime isn’t carried out quickly. So people make plans to commit even more crimes.An evil person may be guilty of a hundred crimes. Yet they may still live a long time. But I know that things will go better with those who have great respect for God.

So don’t judge anything before the appointed time. Wait until the Lord returns. He will bring to light what is hidden in the dark. He will show the real reasons why people do what they do. At that time each person will receive their praise from God.

The Lord is not slow to keep his promise. He is not slow in the way some people understand it. Instead, he is patient with you. He doesn’t want anyone to be destroyed. Instead, he wants all people to turn away from their sins.

They say,“ The Lord doesn’t see what’s happening. The God of Jacob doesn’t pay any attention to it.”You who aren’t wise, pay attention. You foolish people, when will you become wise?Does he who made the ear not hear? Does he who formed the eye not see?Does he who corrects nations not punish? Does he who teaches human beings not know anything?The Lord knows what people think. He knows that their thoughts don’t amount to anything.

God will judge everything people do. That includes everything they try to hide. He’ll judge everything, whether it’s good or evil.

Our God comes, and he won’t be silent. A burning fire goes ahead of him. A terrible storm is all around him.

The Lord says,“ For a long time I have kept silent. I have been calm and quiet. But now, like a woman having a baby, I cry out. I gasp and pant.

People of Jacob, you are proud that the Lord is your God. But he has made a promise in his own name. He says,“ I will never forget anything Israel has done.

‘ I warn and correct those I love. So be sincere, and turn away from your sins.

God said to Moses,“ I am who I am. Here is what you must say to the Israelites. Tell them,‘ I am has sent me to you.’ ”

They say,“ How would God know what we’re doing? Does the Most High God know anything?”

The nations are only a drop in a bucket to him. He considers them as nothing but dust on the scales. He weighs the islands as if they were only fine dust.Lebanon doesn’t have enough trees to keep his altar fires burning. It doesn’t have enough animals to sacrifice as burnt offerings to him.To him, all the nations don’t amount to anything. He considers them to be worthless. In fact, they are less than nothing in his sight.So who will you compare God with? Is there any other god like him?

God, I praise you. Don’t remain silent.Sinful people who lie and cheat have spoken against me. They have used their tongues to tell lies about me.They gather all around me with their words of hatred. They attack me without any reason.

God isn’t a mere human. He can’t lie. He isn’t a human being. He doesn’t change his mind. He speaks, and then he acts. He makes a promise, and then he keeps it.

Sometimes grace is shown to sinful people. But they still don’t learn to do what is right. They keep on doing evil even in a land where others are honest and fair. They don’t have any respect for the majesty of the Lord.

I don’t bring charges against you because of your sacrifices. I don’t bring charges because of the burnt offerings you always bring me.
