Ezekiel 16:49-52

49Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had 1arrogance, 2abundant food and 3careless ease, but she did not 4help the 5poor and needy. 50Thus they were haughty and committed 6abominations before Me. Therefore I 7removed them 8when 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 9righteous by all your abominations which you have committed. 52Also bear your disgrace in that you have 10made judgment favorable for your sisters. Because of your sins in which you acted 11more 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.
