Ezekiel 16:48-52
48As I live,” declares the Lord God, “Sodom, your sister and her daughters have 1not done as you and your daughters have done. 49Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had 2arrogance, 3abundant food and 4careless ease, but she did not 5help the 6poor and needy. 50Thus they were haughty and committed 7abominations before Me. Therefore I 8removed them 9when I saw it. 51Furthermore, Samaria did not commit half of your sins, for you have multiplied your abominations more than they. Thus you have made your sisters appear 10righteous by all your abominations which you have committed. 52Also bear your disgrace in that you have 11made judgment favorable for your sisters. Because of your sins in which you acted 12more abominably than they, they are more in the right than you. Yes, be also ashamed and bear your disgrace, in that you made your sisters appear righteous.
