19 The ^(A)heavens are telling of the glory of God;
And their ^(B)expanse is declaring the work of His hands.
² Day to ^(C)day pours forth speech,
And ^(D)night to night reveals knowledge.
³ There is no speech, nor are there words;
Their voice is not heard.
⁴ Their ^[a](E)line has gone out through all the earth,
And their utterances to the end of the world.
In them He has ^(F)placed a tent for the sun,
⁵ Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber;
It rejoices as a strong man to run his course.
⁶ Its ^(G)rising is from ^[b]one end of the heavens,
And its circuit to the ^[c]other end of them;
And there is nothing hidden from its heat.

²¹ ‘Now hear this, O foolish and ^[a]senseless people,
Who have ^(A)eyes but do not see;
Who have ears but do not hear.
²² ‘Do you not ^(B)fear Me?’ declares the Lord.
‘Do you not tremble in My presence?
For I have ^(C)placed the sand as a boundary for the sea,
An eternal decree, so it cannot cross over it.
Though the waves toss, yet they cannot prevail;
Though they roar, yet they cannot cross over it.
²³ ‘But this people has a ^(D)stubborn and rebellious heart;
They have turned aside and departed.
²⁴ ‘They do not say in their heart,
“Let us now fear the Lord our God,
Who ^(E)gives rain in its season,
Both ^(F)the autumn rain and the spring rain,
Who keeps for us
The ^(G)appointed weeks of the harvest.”
²⁵ ‘Your ^(H)iniquities have turned these away,
And your sins have withheld good from you.
²⁶ ‘For wicked men are found among My people,
They ^(I)watch like fowlers ^[b]lying in wait;
They set a trap,
They catch men.
²⁷ ‘Like a cage full of birds,
So their houses are full of ^(J)deceit;
Therefore they have become great and rich.
²⁸ ‘They are ^(K)fat, they are sleek,
They also ^[c]excel in deeds of wickedness;
They do not plead the cause,
The cause of the ^[d](L)orphan, that they may prosper;
And they do not ^[e]defend the rights of the poor.
²⁹ ‘^(M)Shall I not punish ^[f]these people?’ declares the Lord,
‘On a nation such as this
Shall I not avenge Myself?’
