JPS_ASV_Byz(i)
7 'Hear, O My people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: God, thy God, am I.
8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices; and thy burnt-offerings are continually before Me.
9 I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he-goats out of thy folds.
10 For every beast of the forest is Mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.
11 I know all the fowls of the mountains; and the wild beasts of the field are Mine.
12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee; for the world is Mine, and the fulness thereof.
13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
14 Offer unto God the sacrifice of thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the Most High;
15 And call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt honour Me.'
