New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
8 Not for your sacrifices do I rebuke you;
your burnt offerings are continually before me.(A)
9 I will not accept a bull from your house
or goats from your folds.(B)
10 For every wild animal of the forest is mine,
the cattle on a thousand hills.(C)
11 I know all the birds of the air,[a]
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.(D)
13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls
or drink the blood of goats?
