Except 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.

The verse 9 is found in chapter 1 of Isaiah. Isaiah opens by presenting a vision against Judah and Jerusalem using the language of a legal proceeding. God raised his people as children, but they rebelled; the comparison with the ox and donkey emphasizes the seriousness of an ingratitude that even domestic animals would not display. The criticism reaches both the moral condition of the people and their worship.

Wenn uns der HERR Zebaoth nicht ein weniges ließe übrigbleiben, so wären wir wie Sodom und gleich wie Gomorra.
Si Jehová de los ejércitos no hubiera hecho que nos quedasen muy cortos residuos, como Sodoma fuéramos, y semejantes a Gomorra.
Si Jehová de los ejércitos no nos hubiera dejado unos pocos sobrevivientes, habríamos sido como Sodoma, nos habríamos parecido a Gomorra.
Si l'Eternel des armées Ne nous eût conservé un faible reste, Nous serions comme Sodome, Nous ressemblerions à Gomorrhe.
Se il Signor degli eserciti non ci avesse lasciato alcun piccolo rimanente, noi saremmo stati come Sodoma, saremmo stati simili a Gomorra
Se o SENHOR dos Exércitos não nos tivesse deixado algum remanescente, já como Sodoma seríamos, e semelhantes a Gomorra.
若不是萬軍之耶和華為我們留下一些倖存者, 我們早已變成 所多瑪 ,像 蛾摩拉 一樣了。
