Ezekiel 16:49-51
1599 Geneva Bible
49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, [a]pride, fullness of bread and abundance of idleness was in her, and in her daughters: neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
50 But they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as pleased me.
51 Neither [b]hath Samaria committed half of thy sins, but thou hast exceeded them in thine abominations, and hast [c]justified thy sisters in all thine abominations which thou hast done.

49 “‘Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom:(A) She and her daughters were arrogant,(B) overfed and unconcerned;(C) they did not help the poor and needy.(D) 50 They were haughty(E) and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.(F) 51 Samaria did not commit half the sins you did.
