50:9  I will not accept a bull from your house, or goats from your folds.
50:10  For every wild animal of the forest is mine, the cattle on a thousand hills.
50:11  I know all the birds of the air, and all that moves in the field is mine.
50:12  ‘If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world and all that is in it is mine.

50:19  ‘You give your mouth free rein for evil, and your tongue frames deceit.
50:20  You sit and speak against your kin; you slander your own mother’s child.
50:21  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.

50:23  Those who bring thanksgiving as their sacrifice honour me; to those who go the right way I will show the salvation of God.’
