or male goats from your pens,

NLTNew Living Translation

“O my people, listen as I speak.

“Hear, O my people, and I will speak,

O Israel, and I will testify against you.

I will not take from your house a bull

or from your stalls a he-goat,

KJV 1900King James Version

Hear, O my people, and I will speak;

O Israel, and I will testify against thee:

I am God, even thy God.

I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices

Or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me.

I will take no bullock out of thy house,

Nor he goats out of thy folds.
