Psalms 50:7

⁸“Hear, my people, and I will testify to you, Israel, if you would listen to me!

²“I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

¹⁰I am the LORD, your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it. ¹¹But my people didn’t listen to my voice. Israel desired none of me. ¹²So I let them go after the stubbornness of their hearts, that they might walk in their own counsels.

⁵Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, then you shall be my own possession from among all peoples; for all the earth is mine; ⁶and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.”

⁹“Therefore I will yet contend with you,” says the LORD, “and I will contend with your children’s children.

¹Hear this, all you peoples. Listen, all you inhabitants of the world,

¹⁷You have declared today that the LORD is your God, and that you would walk in his ways, keep his statutes, his commandments, and his ordinances, and listen to his voice. ¹⁸The LORD has declared today that you are a people for his own possession, as he has promised you, and that you should keep all his commandments.

¹³Yet the LORD testified to Israel and to Judah, by every prophet and every seer, saying, “Turn from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets.”

¹⁸“Come now, and let’s reason together,” says the LORD: “Though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

⁴Hear the LORD’s word, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel! ⁵The LORD says, “What unrighteousness have your fathers found in me, that they have gone far from me, and have walked after worthless vanity, and have become worthless?
