46 And your elder sister is Samaria, she and her daughters, dwelling to the north of you; and your younger sister, dwelling toyour south, is Sodom and her daughters. 47 And not only in their ways did you walk, and according to their abominations you acted—as if too little—and you became more corrupt than they in all your ways! 48 As I live—a declaration of the Lord YHWH—Sodom your sister has not done, she and her daughters, as you have done—you and your daughters! 49 Behold, this was the guilt of Sodom your sister: Pride, fullness of bread, and the ease of idleness was unto her and unto her daughters, and the hand of the poor and needy she did not strengthen. 50 And they were haughty, and they did an abomination before My face, and I turned them aside as you have seen. 51 And Samaria, according to the half of your sins, did not sin; and you have multiplied your abominations beyond theirs, and you have justified your sisters in all the abominations that you have done. 52 So also you, lift up your own shame, that you have brought justification for your sisters in your sins that you made abhorrent beyond theirs. They are more righteous than you, so you too be disgraced and lift up your own shame in your justifying of your sisters. Ezekiel 16:46-52, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
