8. I for thy sacrificeno blame will on thee lay,Nor for burnt-off 'rings, which to methou offer'dst ev'ry day.
9. I'll take no calf nor goatsfrom house or fold of thine:
10. For beasts of forests, cattle allon thousand hills, are mine.
11. The fowls on mountains highare all to me well known;Wild beasts which in the fields do lie,ev'n they are all mine own.
12. Then, if I hungry were,I would not tell it thee;Because the world, and fulness allthereof, belongs to me.
13. Will I eat flesh of bulls?or goats' blood drink will I?
14. Thanks offer thou to God, and paythy vows to the most High.
15. And call upon me whenin trouble thou shalt be;I will deliver thee, and thoumy name shalt glorify.
16. But to the wicked manGod saith, My laws and truthShould'st thou declare? how dar'st thou takemy cov'nant in thy mouth?
17. Sith thou instruction hat'st,which should thy ways direct;And sith my words behind thy backthou cast'st, and dost reject.
18. When thou a thief didst see,with him thou didst consent;And with the vile adultererspartaker on thou went.
