Context of Ezekiel 16:48

46Now your older sister is Samaria, she with her daughters (outlying cities) who live north of you; and your younger sister is Sodom, she with her daughters who live south of you. 47Yet you have not merely walked in their ways or behaved in accordance with their pagan practices; but, as if that were too little, you [soon] acted more corruptly in all your ways than they. As I live,” says the Lord God, “Sodom, your sister and her daughters have not done as you and your daughters have done. 49Behold, this was the sin of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters (outlying cities) had arrogance, abundant food, and careless ease, but she did not help the poor and needy. 50They were haughty and committed repulsive acts before Me; therefore I removed them when I saw it.

Sodom, Jerusalem’s younger (or smaller) sister, became known for sexual sin (Genesis 19:4–9) and for pride, gluttony, laziness, and neglect of the poor and needy.Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 4848. Sodom--(Mt 11:24).
