²⁷ one young bullock, one ram, one he-lamb a year old, for a burnt-offering;

⁸ I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices; And thy burnt-offerings are continually before me.

⁹ I will take no bullock out of thy house, Nor he-goats out of thy folds.

¹⁰ For every beast of the forest is mine, And the cattle upon a thousand hills.

¹¹ I know all the birds of the mountains; And the wild beasts of the field are mine.

¹² If I were hungry, I would not tell thee; For the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.

¹³ Will I eat the flesh of bulls, Or drink the blood of goats?

¹⁴ Offer unto God the sacrifice of thanksgiving; And pay thy vows unto the Most High:

¹⁶ For thou delightest not in sacrifice; else would I give it: Thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.

¹¹ What unto me is the multitude of your sacrifices? saith Jehovah: I have had enough of the burnt-offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he-goats.

²² For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt-offerings or sacrifices:

²² Yea, though ye offer me your burnt-offerings and meal-offerings, I will not accept them; neither will I regard the peace-offerings of your fat beasts.
