you leaders of Sodom!

Pay attention to our God’s rebuke,

people of Gomorrah!

“I am stuffed with burnt sacrifices

of rams and the fat from steers.

The blood of bulls, lambs, and goats

I do not want.

and weigh out silver on the scale

hire a metalsmith, who makes it into a god.

They then bow down and worship it.

Certainly its inhabitants will come to nothing!
