Ezekiel 16:46-51
New King James Version
46 “Your elder sister is Samaria, who dwells with her daughters to the north of you; and (A)your younger sister, who dwells to the south of you, is Sodom and her daughters. 47 You did not walk in their ways nor act according to their abominations; but, as if that were too little, (B)you became more corrupt than they in all your ways.
48 “As I live,” says the Lord God, “neither (C)your sister Sodom nor her daughters have done as you and your daughters have done. 49 Look, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: She and her daughter had pride, (D)fullness of food, and abundance of idleness; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. 50 And they were haughty and (E)committed abomination before Me; therefore (F)I took them away as [a]I saw fit.
51 “Samaria did not commit (G)half of your sins; but you have multiplied your abominations more than they, and (H)have justified your sisters by all the abominations which you have done.
