Context of Ezekiel 16:48
46Your elder sister who lives to your left is Samaria, she and her daughters. Your younger sister who lives to your right is Sodom, with her daughters. 47You have not only walked in their ways and gone after their abominations, but in a very short time, you have acted more corruptly than them in all your ways.” “As I live”—it is a declaration of Adonai—“your sister Sodom with her daughters have not done as you have done, you and your daughters. 49Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: pride, gluttony, and careless ease—so had she and her daughters—and she did not strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. 50So they were haughty and committed abomination before Me; therefore I removed them when I saw it.

- 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
