7. Hear, O My people, and I speak, O Israel, and I testify against thee, God, thy God [am] I.
8. Not for thy sacrifices do I reprove thee, Yea, thy burnt-offerings [Are] before Me continually.
9. I take not from thy house a bullock, From thy folds he goats.
10. For Mine [is] every beast of the forest, The cattle on the hills of oxen.
11. I have known every fowl of the mountains, And the wild beast of the field [is] with Me.
12. If I am hungry I tell not to thee, For Mine [is] the world and its fulness.
13. Do I eat the flesh of bulls, And drink the blood of he-goats?
14. Sacrifice to God confession, And complete to the Most High thy vows.
15. And call Me in a day of adversity, I deliver thee, and thou honourest Me.
16. And to the wicked hath God said: What to thee--to recount My statutes? That thou liftest up My covenant on thy mouth?
17. Yea, thou hast hated instruction, And dost cast My words behind thee.
18. If thou hast seen a thief, Then thou art pleased with him, And with adulterers [is] thy portion.
19. Thy mouth thou hast sent forth with evil, And thy tongue joineth deceit together,
