But now I am going to rebuke you, and I will set forth my case before your very own eyes."H6213H2790H1819H1961H3198H6186H586922Consider this, you who have forgotten God?Otherwise, I will tear you in pieces and there will be no deliverer:H995H7911H433H2963H533723Whoever offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies me, and I will reveal the salvation of God to whomever continues in my way."H2076H8426H3513H7760H1870H7200H3468H430
