Ezekiel 16:46-50

46Now your 1older sister is Samaria, who lives 2north of you with her 3daughters; and your younger sister, who lives 4south of you, is 5Sodom with her 6daughters.

47Yet you have not merely walked in their ways and 7committed their abominations; but, as if that were 8too little, you also acted 9more corruptly in all your conduct than they.

48As I live,” declares the Lord God, “Sodom, your sister and her daughters have 10not done as you and your daughters have done!

49Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had 11arrogance, 12plenty of food, and 13carefree ease, but she did not 14help the 15poor and needy.

50So they were haughty and committed 16abominations before Me. Therefore I 17removed them 18when I saw it.
