7. "O ye, My people, hear;
I'll speak and testify
Against thee, O thou Israel,
For God, thy God, am I.
8. "For sacrifices I
No blame will on thee lay,
Nor for burnt offerings of tine
Before Me every day.
9. "I'll take no calf nor toat
From house or fold of thine;
For cattle on a thousand hills
And all wild beasts are Mine.
10. "The birds of mountains great
Are all to Me well known;
The beasts that roam the field untamed,
They too, are all My own.
11. "Then if I hungry were
I would not tell it thee,
Because the world with all its wealth
Belongeth unto Me.
12. "Will I eat flesh of bulls?
Or goats' blood drink will I?
Thanksgiving offer thou, and pay
Thy vows to God Most High.
13. "And do thou call on Me
When troublous days draw nigh;
To thee I'll give deliverance;
Thou shalt Me glorify."
