9 Unless the Lord Almighty

had left us some survivors,

we would have become like Sodom,

we would have been like Gomorrah.

you rulers of Sodom;

listen to the instruction of our God,

you people of Gomorrah!

We should have been as Sodom,

And we should have been like unto Gomorrah.

Give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.

9 If the Lord of Heaven’s Armies

had not spared a few of us,

we would have been wiped out like Sodom,

destroyed like Gomorrah.

10 Listen to the Lord, you leaders of “Sodom.”

Listen to the law of our God, people of “Gomorrah.”

9 Unless the Lord of hosts

Had left to us a very small remnant,

We would have become like Sodom,

10 Hear the word of the Lord,

You rulers of Sodom;

Give ear to the law of our God,

You people of Gomorrah:

9 The Lord All-Powerful

allowed a few of our people to live.

Otherwise we would have been completely destroyed

like the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.

10 Jerusalem, your rulers are like those of Sodom,

and your people are like those of Gomorrah.

Hear the word of the Lord;

listen to the teaching of our God!

9 Except Jehovah of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, we should have been like unto Gomorrah.

10 Hear the word of Jehovah, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.

9 Unless Jehovah of hosts had left us a very small residue, we should have been as Sodom, we should have been like unto Gomorrah.

Pay attention to the teachings from our God, you people of Gomorrah! 

9 If the Lord of Hosts

had not left us a few survivors,

you rulers of Sodom!

Listen to the instruction of our God,

you people of Gomorrah!

you people of Gomorrah!

We would have been like Gomorrah.

10 Rulers of Sodom,

hear the Lord’s message.

People of Gomorrah,

listen to the law of our God.

Had left us a few survivors,

We would be like Sodom,

We would be like Gomorrah.

10 Hear the word of the Lord,

You rulers of Sodom;

You people of Gomorrah.
