8 Not for your sacrifices (A)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 beast of the forest is mine,
the cattle on a thousand hills.
11 (B)I know all the birds of the hills,
and all that moves in the field is mine.
12 “If I were hungry, I would not tell you,
(C)for the world and its fullness are mine.
13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls
or drink the blood of goats?
14 (D)Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving,[a]
and (E)perform your vows to the Most High,
15 and (F)call upon me in the day of trouble;
I will (G)deliver you, and you shall (H)glorify me.”
