לוּלֵי֙ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָא֔וֹת הוֹתִ֥יר לָ֛נוּ שָׂרִ֖יד כִּמְעָ֑ט כִּסְדֹ֣ם הָיִ֔ינוּ לַעֲמֹרָ֖ה דָּמִֽינוּ׃ (ס)
Seandainya Yang Mahakekal semesta alam tidak menyisakan bagi kita segelintir orang yang selamat, kita sudah menjadi seperti Sodom, kita sudah serupa dengan Gomora.
Rashi
Had not the Lord of Hosts left us a remnant by His own volition and with His mercy, not because of our merits.
Ibn Ezra
Except the Lord of hosts, etc. These are the words of the Israelites, whom the prophet introduces now speaking.
