3Our God comes to us, and he is not silent. A great fire is in front of him, and a storm is around him.
4He comes to judge his people. He shouts to the angels in heaven and to the people on the earth.
5He says, “Summon those who faithfully worship me, those who made an agreement with me by offering sacrifices to me.”
6The angels in heaven declare, “God is righteous, and he is the supreme judge.”
7God says, “My people, listen! You Israeli people, listen, as I, your God, say what you have done that is wrong.
8I am not rebuking you for making sacrifices to me, for the offerings that you completely burn on the altar.
9But I do not really need you to sacrifice the bulls from your barns and the goats from your pens,
10because all the animals in the forest belong to me, and all the cattle on a thousand hills also belong to me.
11I own and know all the birds and all the creatures that move around in the fields.
12So, if I were hungry, I would not tell you to bring me some food, because everything in the world belongs to me!
13I do not eat the flesh of the bulls that you sacrifice, and I do not drink the blood of the goats that you offer to me.
