Holy Scripture
Psalms 49:12
A church father on this verse
“David wept for Adam, at how he fell from that royal abode to the abode of wild animals. Because he went astray through a beast he became like the beasts. He ate, together with them as a result of the curse, grass and roots, and he died, becoming their peer. Blessed is he who set him apart from the wild animals again.”

10For all the wild beasts of the thicket are mine, The cattle on the mountains, and oxen.
11I know all the birds of the sky; And the beauty of the field is mine.
— Psalms 49:12 —
13Will I eat the flesh of bulls, Or drink the blood of goats?
14Offer to God the sacrifice of praise; And pay thy vows to the Most High.
