had not left us ^ea few survivors,
we should have been like ^fSodom,
and become like ^gGomorrah.

Give ear to the teaching ^{▼▼Or law} of our God,
you people of ^kGomorrah!
11 ^l“What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices?
says the Lord;
I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams
and the fat of well-fed beasts;
I do not delight in the blood of bulls,
or of lambs, or of goats.
12 “When you come to ^mappear before me,
who has required of you
this trampling of my courts?
13 Bring no more vain offerings;
incense is an abomination to me.
ⁿNew moon and Sabbath and the ^ocalling of convocations—
I cannot endure ^piniquity and ^qsolemn assembly.

they have refused to repent.

Sin and Treachery

4 “You shall say to them, Thus says the Lord:
^uWhen men fall, do they not rise again?
If one turns away, does he not return?
5 Why then has this people ^vturned away
in perpetual ^wbacksliding?
^xThey hold fast to deceit;
they refuse to return.
6 ^yI have paid attention and listened,
but they have not spoken rightly;
no man relents of his evil,
saying, ‘What have I done?’
Everyone turns to his own course,
^zlike a horse plunging headlong into battle.

Luke 15:13

13 Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took a journey into a far country, and there he squandered his property in ^aareckless living.
