7?“Listen, my people, and I will speak;
????I will testify?against you, Israel:
????I am God, your God.
8?I bring no charges?against you concerning your sacrifices
????or concerning your burnt offerings,?which are ever before me.
9?I have no need of a bull?from your stall
????or of goats?from your pens,
10?for every animal of the forest?is mine,
????and the cattle on a thousand hills.
11?I know every bird?in the mountains,
????and the insects in the fields?are mine.
12?If I were hungry I would not tell you,
????for the world?is mine, and all that is in it.
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.”
