Now if the whole congregation of Israel strays unintentionally and the matter escapes the notice of the assembly so that they violate any of the LORD’s commandments and incur guilt by doing what is forbidden,

Or if a person touches anything unclean—whether the carcass of any unclean wild animal or livestock or crawling creature—even if he is unaware of it, he is unclean and guilty.

Or if he touches human uncleanness—anything by which one becomes unclean—even if he is unaware of it, when he realizes it, he is guilty.

Or if someone swears thoughtlessly with his lips to do anything good or evil—in whatever matter a man may rashly pronounce an oath—even if he is unaware of it, when he realizes it, he is guilty in the matter.

And if the people of the land ever hide their eyes and fail to put to death the man who gives one of his children to Molech,

…by sleeping with another man, and it is concealed from her husband and her impurity is undetected (since there is no witness against her and she was not caught in the act),

If you see your brother’s ox or sheep straying, you must not ignore it; be sure to return it to your brother.

And you shall do the same for his donkey, his cloak, or anything your brother has lost and you have found. You must not ignore it.

If you see your brother’s donkey or ox fallen on the road, you must not ignore it; you must help him lift it up.

Here I am. Bear witness against me before the LORD and before His anointed: Whose ox or donkey have I taken? Whom have I cheated or oppressed? From whose hand have I accepted a bribe and closed my eyes? Tell me, and I will restore it to you.”

And Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was too difficult for the king to explain.

When she reached the man of God at the mountain, she clung to his feet. Gehazi came over to push her away, but the man of God said, “Leave her alone, for her soul is in deep distress, and the LORD has hidden it from me and has not told me.”

And Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was too difficult for him to explain.

…darkened because of the ice and the inflow of melting snow,

It is hidden from the eyes of every living thing and concealed from the birds of the air.

You asked, ‘Who is this who conceals My counsel without knowledge?’ Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know.

Why, O LORD, do You stand far off? Why do You hide in times of trouble?

I do not sit with deceitful men, nor keep company with hypocrites.

For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. Listen to my prayer, O God, and do not ignore my plea.

You have set our iniquities before You, our secret sins in the light of Your presence.

Whoever gives to the poor will not be in need, but he who hides his eyes will receive many curses.

For God will bring every deed into judgment, along with every hidden thing, whether good or evil.

When you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide My eyes from you; even though you multiply your prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are covered with blood.

Isn’t it to share your bread with the hungry, to bring the poor and homeless into your home, to clothe the naked when you see him, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?

You heard my plea: “Do not ignore my cry for relief.”

Her priests do violence to My law and profane My holy things. They make no distinction between the holy and the common, and they fail to distinguish between the clean and the unclean. They disregard My Sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them.

You too will become drunk; you will go into hiding and seek refuge from the enemy.
