11 I know every bird of the mountains,[a]
and the creatures of the field are Mine.(A)
12 If I were hungry, I would not tell you,
for the world and everything in it is Mine.(B)
13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls
or drink the blood of goats?(C)
14 Sacrifice a thank offering to God,(D)
and pay your vows to the Most High.(E)
15 Call on Me in a day of trouble;
I will rescue you, and you will honor Me.”(F)

16 But God says to the wicked:
“What right do you have to recite My statutes
and to take My covenant on your lips?(G)
17 You hate instruction
and turn your back on My words.[b](H)
