* "
Hear ,
O my people ,
and I will speak ,
O Israel ,
I will testify against you .
I am God ,
your God .
*
I do not reprove you for your sacrifices ;
your burnt offerings are continually before me .
*
I will accept no bull from your house ,
nor he-goat from your folds .
*
For every beast of the forest is mine ,
the cattle on a thousand hills .
*
I know all the birds of the air ,
and all that moves in the field is mine .
* "
If I were hungry ,
I would not tell you ;
for the world and all that is in it is mine .
*
Do I eat the flesh of bulls ,
or drink the blood of goats ?
*
Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving ,
and pay your vows to the Most High ;
*
and call upon me in the day of trouble ;
I will deliver you ,
and you shall glorify me ."
*
But to the wicked God says : "
What right have you to recite my statutes ,
or take my covenant on your lips ?
