Isaiah 1:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 Except the Lord of hosts [a]had reserved unto us even a small remnant, we should have been [b]as Sodom, and should have been like unto Gomorrah.
10 Hear the word of the Lord, O [c]princes of Sodom: hearken unto the Law of our God, O people of Gomorrah.
11 What have I to do with the multitude of your sacrifices, saith the Lord? I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and of the fat of fed beasts: and I [d]desire not the blood of bullocks, nor of lambs, nor of goats.
