Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I [am] God, [even] thy God.
I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, [to have been] continually before me.
I will take no bullock out of thy house, [nor] he goats out of thy folds.
For every beast of the forest [is] mine, [and] the cattle upon a thousand hills.
I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field [are] mine.
If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world [is] mine, and the fulness thereof.
Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:
And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or [that] thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?
