9. I will not take calves out of thy house: nor he goats out of thy flocks.
10. For all the beasts of the woods are mine: the cattle on the hills, and the oxen.
11. I know all the fowls of the air: and with me is the beauty of the field.
12. If I should be hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.
13. Shall I eat the flesh of bullocks? or shall I drink the blood of goats?
14. Offer to God the sacrifice of praise: and pay thy vows to the most High.
15. And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
16. But to the sinner God hath said: Why dost thou declare my justices, and take my covenant in thy mouth?
17. Seeing thou hast hated discipline: and hast cast my words behind thee.
18. If thou didst see a thief thou didst run with him: and with adulterers thou hast been a partaker.
19. Thy mouth hath abounded with evil, and thy tongue framed deceits.
20. Sitting thou didst speak against thy brother, and didst lay a scandal against thy mother's son:
21. these things hast thou done, and I was silent. Thou thoughtest unjustly that I should be like to thee: but I will reprove thee, and set before thy face.
22. Understand these things, you that forget God; lest he snatch you away, and there be none to deliver you.
23. The sacrifice of praise shall glorify me: and there is the way by which I will shew him the salvation of God.
