Ezekiel 16:44–52

⁴⁴Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall use this ^oproverb against thee, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter. ⁴⁵Thou art thy mother’s daughter, that ^plotheth her husband and her children; and thou art the sister of ^qthy sisters, which ^plothed their husbands and their children: ^ryour mother was an Hittite, and ^ryour father an Amorite. ⁴⁶And thine elder sister is ^sSamaria, she and her daughters that dwell ^tuat thy left hand: and ^†thy younger sister, that dwelleth ^tvat thy right hand, is ^wSodom and her daughters. ^47xYet hast thou not walked after their ways, nor done after their abominations: but, ^||as if that were a very little thing, ^zthou wast corrupted more than they in all thy ways. ^48aAs I live, saith the Lord God, ^bSodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters. ⁴⁹Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, ^cpride, ^dfulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. ⁵⁰And ^cthey were haughty, and ^ecommitted abomination before me: therefore ^fI took them away ^gas I saw good. ⁵¹Neither hath ^hSamaria committed half of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thine abominations more than they, and ⁱhast justified thy sisters in all thine abominations which thou hast done. ^52jThou also, which hast ^kjudged thy sisters, ^lbear thine own shame for thy sins ^hthat thou hast committed more abominable than they: they are more righteous than thou: yea, be thou confounded also, and bear thy shame, ⁱin that thou hast justified thy sisters.
