Ezekiel 16:50-52
New Living Translation
50 She was proud and committed detestable sins, so I wiped her out, as you have seen.[a]
51 “Even Samaria did not commit half your sins. You have done far more detestable things than your sisters ever did. They seem righteous compared to you. 52 Shame on you! Your sins are so terrible that you make your sisters seem righteous, even virtuous.

Ezekiel 16:50-52
New International Version
50 They were haughty(A) and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.(B) 51 Samaria did not commit half the sins you did. You have done more detestable things than they, and have made your sisters seem righteous by all these things you have done.(C) 52 Bear your disgrace, for you have furnished some justification for your sisters. Because your sins were more vile than theirs, they appear more righteous(D) than you. So then, be ashamed and bear(E) your disgrace, for you have made your sisters appear righteous.
