7. God says, “My people, listen to me;Israel, I will testify against you.I am God, your God.
8. I do not scold you for your sacrifices.You always bring me your burnt offerings.
9. But I do not need bulls from your stallsor goats from your pens,
10. because every animal of the forest is already mine.The cattle on a thousand hills are mine.
11. I know every bird on the mountains,and every living thing in the fields is mine.
12. If I were hungry, I would not tell you,because the earth and everything in it are mine.
13. I don’t eat the meat of bullsor drink the blood of goats.
