(A)Hear, My people, and I will speak;
Israel, I will testify [a]against you;
I am God, (B)your God.
I do (C)not rebuke you for your sacrifices,
And your burnt offerings are continually before Me.
I will not take a (D)bull from your house,
Nor male goats from your folds.
10 For (E)every animal of the forest is Mine,
The cattle on a thousand hills.
11 I know every (F)bird of the mountains,
And everything that moves in the field is [b]Mine.
12 If I were hungry I would not tell you,
For the (G)world is Mine, and [c]everything it contains.
13 Shall I eat the flesh of [d](H)bulls
Or drink the blood of male goats?
14 Offer God (I)a sacrifice of thanksgiving
And (J)pay your vows to the Most High;
15 (K)Call upon Me on the day of trouble;
I will (L)rescue you, and you will (M)honor Me.”
