If Yahweh of hosts had not left us survivors,[a]
    we would have been as few as Sodom,
    we would have become like Gomorrah.
10 Hear the word of Yahweh, rulers of Sodom!
    Listen to the teaching of our God, people of Gomorrah!

        and the fat of fattened animals
    and I do not delight in the blood of bulls
        and ram-lambs and goats.
