9. I will not take a bullock from your house,or he-goats from your folds.
10. For every animal of the forest is mine,beasts by the thousands on my mountains.
11. I know every bird in the heights;whatever moves in the wild is mine.
12. Were I hungry, I would not tell you,for mine is the world and all that fills it.
13. Do I eat the flesh of bullsor drink the blood of he-goats?
14. Offer praise as your sacrifice to God;fulfill your vows to the Most High.
15. Then call on me on the day of distress;I will rescue you, and you shall honor me.”
16. But to the wicked God says:“Why do you recite my commandmentsand profess my covenant with your mouth?
17. You hate discipline;you cast my words behind you!
