5 ‘Gather to me this consecrated people,who made a covenant with me by sacrifice.’
6 And the heavens proclaim his righteousness,for he is a God of justice.,
7 ‘Listen, my people, and I will speak;I will testify against you, Israel:I am God, your God.
8 I bring no charges against you concerning your sacrificesor concerning your burnt offerings, which are ever before me.
9 I have no need of a bull from your stallor of goats from your pens,
10 for every animal of the forest is mine,and the cattle on a thousand hills.
11 I know every bird in the mountains,and the insects in the fields are mine.
