⁹ I have no need of a bull^(A) from your stall
    or of goats^(B) from your pens,^(C)
10 for every animal of the forest^(D) is mine,
    and the cattle on a thousand hills.^(E)
11 I know every bird^(F) in the mountains,
    and the insects in the fields^(G) are mine.
¹² If I were hungry I would not tell you,
    for the world^(H) is mine, and all that is in it.^(I)
13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls
    or drink the blood of goats?

¹⁶ You do not delight in sacrifice,^(A) or I would bring it;
    you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.

¹¹ “The multitude of your sacrifices—
    what are they to me?” says the Lord.
“I have more than enough of burnt offerings,
    of rams and the fat of fattened animals;^(A)
I have no pleasure^(B)
    in the blood of bulls^(C) and lambs and goats.^(D)
12 When you come to appear before me,
    who has asked this of you,^(E)
    this trampling of my courts?
¹³ Stop bringing meaningless offerings!^(F)
    Your incense^(G) is detestable^(H) to me.
New Moons,^(I) Sabbaths and convocations^(J)—
    I cannot bear your worthless assemblies.
