7. Listen, my people, and I will speak. Listen, Israel, and I will testify for you. I am God, your God.
8. I will not reprove you for your sacrifices. Moreover, your holocausts are ever in my sight.
9. I will not accept calves from your house, nor he-goats from your flocks.
10. For all the wild beasts of the forest are mine: the cattle on the hills and the oxen.
11. I know all the flying things of the air, and the beauty of the field is with me.
12. If I should be hungry, I would not tell you: for the whole world is mine, and all its plentitude.
13. Shall I gnaw on the flesh of bulls? Or would I drink the blood of goats?
