Context of Ezekiel 16:48
46Your older sister was Samaria, who lived with her daughters to the north of you, and your younger sister was Sodom, who lived with her daughters to the south of you. 47Didn’t you walk in their ways and do their detestable practices? It was only a short time before all your ways were more corrupt than theirs. “‘As I live — the declaration of the Lord God — your sister Sodom and her daughters have not behaved as you and your daughters have. 49Now this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters had pride, plenty of food, and comfortable security, but didn’t support the poor and needy. 50They were haughty and did detestable acts before me, so I removed them when I saw this.

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 4848. Sodom--(Mt 11:24). Judah's guilt was not positively, but relatively, greater than Sodom's; because it was in the midst of such higher privileges, and such solemn warnings; a fortiori, the guilt of unbelievers in the midst of the highest of all lights, namely, the Gospel, is the greatest.Read the comment
