8I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices, or thy burnt-offerings, continually before me;
9I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he-goats out of thy folds:
10For every beast of the forest is mine, the cattle upon a thousand hills;
11I know all the fowl of the mountains, and the roaming creatures of the field are mine:
12If I were hungry, I would not tell thee; for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.
13Should I eat the flesh of bulls, and drink the blood of goats?
14Offer unto God thanksgiving, and perform thy vows unto the Most High;
15And call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
16But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant into thy mouth,
17Seeing thou hast hated correction and hast cast my words behind thee?
18When thou sawest a thief, thou didst take pleasure in him, and thy portion was with adulterers;
