Context of Ezekiel 16:48

46Your older sister was Samaria. She and her daughters lived north of you. Your younger sister was Sodom. She and her daughters lived south of you. 47You lived like them and you did all the same disgusting things that they did. But you quickly became even worse than them. Your sister Sodom and her daughters never did such wicked things as you and your daughters have done. That is true as surely as I live, says the Almighty Lord. 49Listen to me! This is the wicked thing that your sister Sodom did: She and her daughters were very proud. They had plenty of food to eat and they enjoyed life. But they did not help people who were poor and weak. 50They were proud and they did whatever they wanted to do. When I saw the disgusting things that they were doing, I removed them.

Commentaries on Ezekiel 16:48

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 46-50Samaria, Jerusalem’s older (or larger) sister, engaged in improper worship since Jeroboam introduced golden calves at the national shrines in Dan and Bethel (1 Kings 12:28–33). 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). 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
