Isaias
Hebrew Bible
Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904
8 And the daughter of Zion is left as a booth in a vineyard, as a ’tent in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
9 Except the LORD of Hosts had left us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
10 Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ye ear unto the law of our God, people of Gomorrah.
11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am sated with the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he-goats.
12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to trample my courts?
13 Bring no more vain (meal-) offerings; incense is an abomination unto me; new moons and sabbaths, callings of assemblies; I cannot away with iniquity and the solemn meetings.
14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a cumbrance unto me: I am weary of bearing.
