Psalm 50:13–17

13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls

or drink the blood of goats?

14 “Sacrifice thank offerings to God,

fulfill your vows to the Most High,

15 and call on me in the day of trouble;

I will deliver you, and you will honor me.”

16 But to the wicked person, God says:

“What right have you to recite my laws

or take my covenant on your lips?

17 You hate my instruction

and cast my words behind you.

13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls

or drink the blood of goats?

14 Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving,

and perform your vows to the Most High,

15 and call upon me in the day of trouble;

I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.”

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.

13 Do I eat the meat of bulls?

Do I drink the blood of goats?

14 Make thankfulness your sacrifice to God,

and keep the vows you made to the Most High.

15 Then call on me when you are in trouble,

and I will rescue you,

and you will give me glory.”

16 But God says to the wicked:

“Why bother reciting my decrees

and pretending to obey my covenant?

17 For you refuse my discipline

and treat my words like trash.

13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls,

Or drink the blood of goats?

14 Offer to God thanksgiving,

And pay your vows to the Most High.

15 Call upon Me in the day of trouble;

I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.”

16 But to the wicked God says:

“What right have you to declare My statutes,

Or take My covenant in your mouth,

17 Seeing you hate instruction

And cast My words behind you?

13 I don’t eat the meat of bulls

or drink the blood of goats.

14 Give an offering to show thanks to God.

Give God Most High what you have promised.

15 Call to me in times of trouble.

I will save you, and you will honor me.”

16 But God says to the wicked,

“Why do you talk about my laws?

Why do you mention my agreement?

17 You hate my teachings

and turn your back on what I say.

13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls,

Or drink the blood of goats?

14 Offer unto God the sacrifice of thanksgiving;

And pay thy vows unto the Most High;

15 And call upon me in the day of trouble:

I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

16 But unto the wicked God saith,

What hast thou to do to declare my statutes,

And that thou hast taken my covenant in thy mouth,

17 Seeing thou hatest instruction,

And castest my words behind thee?

13 Should I eat the flesh of bulls, and drink the blood of goats? 14 Offer unto God thanksgiving, and perform thy vows unto the Most High; 15 And call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

16 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant into thy mouth, 17 Seeing thou hast hated correction and hast cast my words behind thee?

13 Do I eat the meat of bulls or drink the blood of goats? 

14 Bring ⸤your⸥ thanks to God as a sacrifice, 

and keep your vows to the Most High. 

15 Call on me in times of trouble. 

I will rescue you, and you will honor me.” 

16 But God says to wicked people, 

“How dare you quote my decrees 

and mouth my promises!

17 You hate discipline. 

You toss my words behind you. 

13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls

or drink the blood of goats?

14 Sacrifice a thank offering to God,

and pay your vows to the Most High.

15 Call on Me in a day of trouble;

I will rescue you, and you will honor Me.”

16 But God says to the wicked:

“What right do you have to recite My statutes

and to take My covenant on your lips?

17 You hate instruction

and turn your back on My words.

13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls

or drink the blood of goats?

14 Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving,

and pay your vows to the Most High.

15 Call on me in the day of trouble;

I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.”

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.

13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls

or drink the blood of goats?

14 Offer to God a thank offering

and pay your vows to the Most High.

15 And call me in the day of trouble;

I will deliver you, and you will glorify me.”

16 But to the wicked God says,

“What right have you to recite my statutes

and mention my covenant with your mouth,

17 while you yourself hate discipline,

and cast my words behind you?

13 Do I eat the meat of bulls?

Do I drink the blood of goats?

14 Bring me thank offerings, because I am your God.

Carry out the promises you made to me, because I am the Most High God.

15 Call out to me when trouble comes.

I will save you. And you will honor me.”

16 But here is what God says to sinful people.

“What right do you have to speak the words of my laws?

How dare you speak the words of my covenant!

17 You hate my teaching.

You turn your back on what I say.

13 “Shall I eat the flesh of bulls

Or drink the blood of male goats?

14 “Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving

And pay your vows to the Most High;

15 Call upon Me in the day of trouble;

I shall rescue you, and you will honor Me.”

16 But to the wicked God says,

“What right have you to tell of My statutes

And to take My covenant in your mouth?

17 “For you hate discipline,

And you cast My words behind you.
