​⁷“Hear, O my people, and I will speak,
O Israel, I will testify against you.
I am God, your God.
⁸Not for your sacrifices do I rebuke you;
your burnt offerings are continually before me.
⁹I will not accept a bull from your house,
or goats from your folds.
¹⁰For every wild animal of the forest is mine,
the cattle on a thousand hills.
¹¹I 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.
¹³Do I eat the flesh of bulls,
or drink the blood of goats?
¹⁴Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving,
and pay your vows to the Most High.
¹⁵Call on me in the day of trouble;
I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.”
