Psalms 50:13

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

Psalm 50:13 In-Context

11 I know every mountain bird by name; the scampering field mice are my friends.
12 If I get hungry, do you think I'd tell you? All creation and its bounty are mine.
13 Do you think I feast on venison? or drink draughts of goats' blood?
14 Spread for me a banquet of praise, serve High God a feast of kept promises,
15 And call for help when you're in trouble - I'll help you, and you'll honor me."
