Psalms 50: 7 - 13, 16 - 17
|
| 7
|
"Hear, O my people, and I will speak, O Israel, I will testify against you. I am God, your God.
|
| 8
|
I do not reprove you for your sacrifices; your burnt offerings are continually before me.
|
| 9
|
I will accept no bull from your house, nor he-goat from your folds.
|
| 10
|
For every beast of the forest is mine, the cattle on a thousand hills.
|
| 11
|
I know all the birds of the air, and all that moves in the field is mine.
|
| 12
|
"If I were hungry, I would not tell you; for the world and all that is in it is mine.
|
| 13
|
Do I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
|
| 16
|
But to the wicked God says: "What right have you to recite my statutes, or take my covenant on your lips?
|
| 17
|
For you hate discipline, and you cast my words behind you.
