Blessed are they who observe what is right,
who do always what is just.
Remember me, LORD, as you favor your people;
come to me with your saving help.
But mingled with the nations
and learned their works.
They served their idols,
which became a snare for them.
They sacrificed their sons
and their daughters to demons.
And the LORD grew angry with his people,
and abhorred his inheritance.
Lawrence Alma-Tadema. Joseph gardien des greniers de Pharaon, 1874. Dahesh Museum of Art, New York.
