Barnes' Notes
Rather, "For" the iniquity "of the daughter of my people was greater than" the sin "of Sodom." The prophet deduces this conclusion from the greatness of Judah' s misery (compare Jeremiah 30:11; see also Luke 13:1-5).
No hands stayed on her - Or, "no hands were round about her." Sodom' s sufferings in dying were brief: there were no starving children, no mothers cooking their offspring for food.
