21 I have kept quiet while you did these things,
    so you thought I was just like you.
But I will ·scold [reprimand; reprove] you
    and ·accuse [indict] you ·to your face [L before your eyes].

22 “·Think about [Understand] this, you who forget God.
    Otherwise, I will tear you apart,
    and no one will ·save [protect] you.

    who bring me ·offerings to show thanks [thank offerings; v. 14].
And I, God, will save those who ·do that [L go on my way/path].”
