8. And the daughter of Zion is left as a booth in a vineyard, as a hut in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
9. Unless the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
10. Hear the word of the LORD, you rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah.
11. To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me?
12. When you come to appear before me, who has required this at your hand, to trample my courts?
13. Bring no more vain offerings; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot endure; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
14. Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hates: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary of bearing them.
