ESVEnglish Standard Version

“Hear, O my people, and I will speak;

O Israel, I will testify against you.

I am God, your God.

Not for your sacrifices do I rebuke you;

your burnt offerings are continually before me.

I will not accept a bull from your house

or goats from your folds.

For every beast of the forest is mine,

the cattle on a thousand hills.

I know all the birds of the hills,

and all that moves in the field is mine.

“If I were hungry, I would not tell you,

for the world and its fullness are mine.

Do I eat the flesh of bulls

or drink the blood of goats?

Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving,

and perform your vows to the Most High,

and call upon me in the day of trouble;

I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.”

NIVNew International Version (2011)

“Listen, my people, and I will speak;

I will testify against you, Israel:

I am God, your God.

I bring no charges against you concerning your sacrifices

or concerning your burnt offerings, which are ever before me.

I have no need of a bull from your stall

or of goats from your pens,

for every animal of the forest is mine,

and the cattle on a thousand hills.

I know every bird in the mountains,

and the insects in the fields are mine.

If I were hungry I would not tell you,

for the world is mine, and all that is in it.

Do I eat the flesh of bulls

or drink the blood of goats?

“Sacrifice thank offerings to God,

fulfill your vows to the Most High,

and call on me in the day of trouble;

I will deliver you, and you will honor me.”

“Listen, my people, and I will speak;

I will testify against you, Israel.

I am God, your God.

I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices

or for your burnt offerings,

which are continually before me.

I will not take a bull from your household

or male goats from your pens,

for every animal of the forest is mine,

the cattle on a thousand hills.

I know every bird of the mountains,

and the creatures of the field are mine.

If I were hungry, I would not tell you,

for the world and everything in it is mine.

Do I eat the flesh of bulls

Offer a thanksgiving sacrifice to God,

Call on me in a day of trouble;

I will rescue you, and you will honor me.”

NLTNew Living Translation

“O my people, listen as I speak.

Here are my charges against you, O Israel:

I am God, your God!

I have no complaint about your sacrifices

or the burnt offerings you constantly offer.

But I do not need the bulls from your barns

or the goats from your pens.

For all the animals of the forest are mine,

and I own the cattle on a thousand hills.

I know every bird on the mountains,

and all the animals of the field are mine.

If I were hungry, I would not tell you,

for all the world is mine and everything in it.

Do I eat the meat of bulls?

Do I drink the blood of goats?

Make thankfulness your sacrifice to God,

and keep the vows you made to the Most High.

Then call on me when you are in trouble,

and I will rescue you,

and you will give me glory.”

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

“Hear, O my people, and I will speak,

O Israel, and I will testify against you.

I am God, your God.

It is not concerning a lack of your sacrifices that I rebuke you,

and your burnt offerings are before me continually.

I will not take from your house a bull

or from your stalls a he-goat,

because every animal of the forest is mine,

the cattle on a thousand hills.

I know every bird of the mountains,

and every moving creature in the field is mine.

If I were hungry I would not tell you,

because the world and its fullness are mine.

Do I eat the flesh of bulls

or drink the blood of goats?

Offer to God a thank offering

and pay your vows to the Most High.

And call me in the day of trouble;

I will deliver you, and you will glorify me.”

KJV 1900King James Version

Hear, O my people, and I will speak;

O Israel, and I will testify against thee:

I am God, even thy God.

I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices

Or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me.

I will take no bullock out of thy house,

Nor he goats out of thy folds.

For every beast of the forest is mine,

And the cattle upon a thousand hills.

I know all the fowls of the mountains:

And the wild beasts of the field are mine.

If I were hungry, I would not tell thee:

For the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.

Will I eat the flesh of bulls,

Or drink the blood of goats?

Offer unto God thanksgiving;

And pay thy vows unto the most High:

And call upon me in the day of trouble:

I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
