Isaiah 1:9-11

Contemporary English Version

^9 (A) Zion would have disappeared
    like Sodom and Gomorrah,^[a]
if the Lord All-Powerful
had not let a few
    of its people survive.

¹⁰ You are no better
    than the leaders and people
of Sodom and Gomorrah!
    So listen to the Lord God:
^11 (B) “Your sacrifices
    mean nothing to me.
I am sick of your offerings
    of rams and choice cattle;
I don't like the blood
    of bulls or lambs or goats.
