¹⁰ ·Hear [Listen to] the word of the Lord,
    you rulers of Sodom [^CJerusalem is compared sarcastically to evil Sodom and Gomorrah]!
listen to the ·teaching [instruction] of our God,
    You people of Gomorrah!
¹¹ The Lord says,
    “·I do not want all these sacrifices [^LWhat are your many sacrifices to me?].
I ·have had enough of [am stuffed full with] your burnt sacrifices [Lev. 1:1–17]
    of male sheep and fat from ·fine [fattened] ·animals [beasts; cattle].
I ·am not pleased by [take no pleasure in]
    the blood of bulls, lambs, and goats.
¹² You ·come to meet with [appear before; worship] me,
    but who asked you to do
    all this ·running in and out of [trampling/parading through] my ·Temple’s rooms [courts; courtyards]?
