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.
