Earlier Isaiah had said,“ The Lord who rules over all left us children and grandchildren. If he hadn’t, we would have become like Sodom. We would have been like Gomorrah.”( Isaiah 1:9)

又如以赛亚先前说过：“若不是万军之主给我们存留余种，我们早已像所多玛、蛾摩拉的样子了。”

又如以赛亚先前说过：“若不是万军之主给我们存留余种，我们早已变成所多玛，像蛾摩拉一样了。”

又如以赛亚先前说过：“若不是万军之主给我们存留余种，我们早已变成所多玛，像蛾摩拉一样了。”

以赛亚又说：“若不是万军之主给我们存留后裔，我们早就像所多玛和蛾摩拉一样灭亡了。”

又如以赛亚早已说过的：“如果不是万军之主给我们存留后裔，我们早就像所多玛和蛾摩拉一样了。”

又如以赛亚预先说过：“要不是万军之主给我们留下后裔，我们早就变得像所多玛、格摩拉那样了。”

又如以賽亞先前說過：若不是萬軍之主給我們存留餘種，我們早已像所多瑪、蛾摩拉的樣子了。

又如以賽亞先前說過：「若不是萬軍之主給我們存留餘種，我們早已變成所多瑪，像蛾摩拉一樣了。」

又如以賽亞先前說過：「若不是萬軍之主給我們存留餘種，我們早已變成所多瑪，像蛾摩拉一樣了。」

以賽亞又說：「若不是萬軍之主給我們存留後裔，我們早就像所多瑪和蛾摩拉一樣滅亡了。」

又如以賽亞早已說過的：“如果不是萬軍之主給我們存留後裔，我們早就像所多瑪和蛾摩拉一樣了。”

又如以賽亞先前也說過：『若不是萬軍之主給我們遺留了後裔，我們早就成了所多瑪，變像蛾摩拉的樣子了。』

又如以賽亞預先說過：「要不是萬軍之主給我們留下後裔，我們早就變得像所多瑪、格摩拉那樣了。」

如以賽亞曾言、若萬軍之主、未遺餘種於我、則我儕已如所多瑪蛾摩拉矣、○

以賽亞前有云、如萬有之主、不俾我眾猶有孑遺、則必若所多馬、蛾摩拉矣、

又如以賽亞前所云、若萬有之主、不遺種於我儕、則必如所多瑪俄摩拉矣、○

且意灑雅前已言之曰：『若非萬有之主為吾族保留後裔、則吾人早與索多馬及蛾摩拉同歸於盡矣。』

It is just as Isaiah said previously:“ Unless the Lord Almighty had left us descendants, we would have become like Sodom, we would have been like Gomorrah.”

And as Isaiah predicted,“ If the Lord of hosts had not left us offspring, we would have been like Sodom and become like Gomorrah.”

And Isaiah said the same thing in another place:“ If the Lord of Heaven’s Armies had not spared a few of our children, we would have been wiped out like Sodom, destroyed like Gomorrah.”

And just as Isaiah predicted: If the Lord of Hosts had not left us offspring, we would have become like Sodom, and we would have been made like Gomorrah.

And just as Isaiah foretold:“ If the Lord of armies had not left us descendants, We would have become like Sodom, and would have been like Gomorrah.”

And as Isaiah said before:“ Unless the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, We would have become like Sodom, And we would have been made like Gomorrah.”

And, as Isaiah hath said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, We had become as Sodom, and had been made like unto Gomorrah.

And just as Isaiah predicted: If the Lord of Hosts had not left us offspring, we would have become like Sodom, and we would have been made like Gomorrah.

And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.

Just as Isaiah predicted,“ If the Lord of armies had not left us descendants, we would have become like Sodom, and we would have resembled Gomorrah.”

As Isaiah has said before,“ Unless the Lord of Armies had left us a seed, we would have become like Sodom, and would have been made like Gomorrah.”

The Lord who rules over all has let some people live through that time of trouble. If he hadn’t, we would have become like Sodom. We would have been like Gomorrah.

The city of Babylon is the jewel of kingdoms. It is the pride and glory of the Babylonians. But God will destroy it just as he did Sodom and Gomorrah.

I destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. I also destroyed the towns that were near them,” announces the Lord.“ Babylon will be just like them. No one will live there. No human beings will stay there.

You have even failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields. Their pay is crying out against you. The cries of those who gathered the harvest have reached the ears of the Lord. He rules over all.

Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed. So were the towns that were near them,” says the Lord.“ You will be just like them. No one will live in your land. No human beings will stay there.

“ I destroyed some of you, just as I did Sodom and Gomorrah. You were like a burning stick that was pulled out of the fire. In spite of that, you still have not returned to me,” announces the Lord.

The whole land will be burned up. Nothing but salt and sulfur will be left. Nothing will be planted there. Nothing will grow there. In fact, nothing will even start to grow there. The land will be like Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboyim after they were destroyed. The Lord wiped out those cities because he was very angry.

Then the Lord sent down burning sulfur. It came down like rain on Sodom and Gomorrah. It came from the Lord. It came out of the sky.The Lord destroyed these cities and the whole valley. All the people who were living in the cities were wiped out. So were the plants in the land.

The people of Sodom and Gomorrah and the towns around them also did evil things. They freely committed sexual sins. They committed sins of the worst possible kind. There is a fire that never goes out. Those people are an example of those who are punished with it.

God judged the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. He burned them to ashes. He made them an example of what is going to happen to ungodly people.

My people have been punished more than Sodom was. It was destroyed in a moment. No one offered it a helping hand.

The Lord loves us very much. So we haven’t been completely destroyed. His loving concern never fails.

The land by the sea will become grasslands. It will have wells for shepherds and pens for flocks.

Suppose only a tenth of the people remain there. Even then the land will be completely destroyed again. But when oak trees and terebinth trees are cut down, stumps are left. And my holy people will be like stumps that begin to grow again.”
