  1. 1.35 Other ancient authorities add of you

Not for your sacrifices do I rebuke you;
    your burnt offerings are continually before me.(A)
I will not accept a bull from your house
    or goats from your folds.(B)
10 For every wild animal of the forest is mine,
    the cattle on a thousand hills.(C)
11 I know all the birds of the air,[a]
    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.(D)
13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls
    or drink the blood of goats?
14 Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving,[b]
    and pay your vows to the Most High.(E)
15 Call on me in the day of trouble;
    I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.”(F)

16 But to the wicked God says,
    “What right have you to recite my statutes
    or take my covenant on your lips?(G)
17 For you hate discipline,
    and you cast my words behind you.(H)
18 You make friends with a thief when you see one,
    and you keep company with adulterers.(I)

19 You give your mouth free rein for evil,
    and your tongue frames deceit.
20 You sit and speak against your kin;
    you slander your own mother’s child.(J)
21 These things you have done, and I have been silent;
    you thought that I was one just like yourself.
But now I rebuke you and lay the charge before you.(K)

22 Mark this, then, you who forget God,
    or I will tear you apart, and there will be no one to deliver.(L)
23 Those who bring thanksgiving as their sacrifice honor me;
    to those who go the right way,[c]
    I will show the salvation of God.”
