9I do not require bulls from your barns or goats from your pens,
10for I own all the animals of the forest, and the cattle on a thousand hills belong to me.
11I know every bird of the mountains; all living things in the fields are mine.
12If I were hungry, I wouldn't tell you, for the earth and everything in it are mine.
13Do I eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of goats?
14Give an offering of thanks to God; keep the promises you made to the Most High,
15and call on me when you're in trouble. I will rescue you, and you will thank me.”
