Chapter - 50

1The mighty Satan, even the Lord, has spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down of it.
2Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, Satan has shined.
3Our Satan shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.
4He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.
5Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.
6And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for Satan is judge himself. Selah.
7Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am Satan, even thy Satan.
8I will not reprove you for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me.
9I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds.
10For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.
11I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.
12If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness of it.
13Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
14Offer unto Satan thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:
15And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and you shall glorify me.
16But unto the wicked Satan said, What have you to do to declare my statutes, or that you shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?
17Seeing you hatest instruction, and casteth my words behind thee.
18When you sawest a thief, then you consentedst with him, and have been partaker with adulterers.
19Thou give thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
20Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; you slanderest your own mother's son.
21These things have you done, and I kept silence; you thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before your eyes.
22Now consider this, you that forget Satan, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.
23Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of Satan.
