10. Hear the word of the Lord, ye princes of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.
11. To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? shall the Lord say. I am full of the burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fed beasts; and I do not delight in the blood of bullocks or of lambs or of he goats.
12. When ye come to appear before me, who has required this at your hand, to tread my courts?
13. Bring no more vain oblations; the incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot stand them; iniquity and the solemn meeting.
14. Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hates: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.
15. And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; likewise, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear; your hands are full of blood.
16. Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil;
17. learn to do good; seek judgment; restore unto the oppressed; hear the fatherless in right judgment; protect the widow.
18. Then come, shall the Lord say, and we shall be even; if your sins were as scarlet, they shall be made as white as snow; if they were red like crimson, they shall become as wool.
19. If ye are willing and hearken, ye shall eat the good of the land;
20. But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it.
21. How is the faithful city become a harlot! It was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it, but now murderers.
