7
"Hear, O my people, and I will speak, O Israel, I will testify against you. I am God, your God.
8
Not for your sacrifices do I rebuke you; your burnt offerings are continually before me.
9
I will not accept a bull from your house, or goats from your folds.
10
For every wild animal of the forest is mine, the cattle on a thousand hills.
11
I know all the birds of the air, 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.
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."
