Unless the Lord of Armies[a] had left us a small surviving remnant,
we would have been like Sodom;
we would have become just like Gomorrah.

The Lord’s Proclamation

10 Hear the word of the Lord, you rulers of Sodom!
Listen to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah!
11     What do your many sacrifices mean to me? says the Lord.
    I have more than enough rams as burnt offerings
    and enough fat from well-fed animals.
    I am not pleased with the blood of bulls
    or the blood of lambs and male goats.
