Ezekiel 16:51
Compare all
49 Look, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: She and her daughter had pride, afullness of food, and abundance of idleness; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.  
50 And they were haughty and acommitted abomination before Me; therefore bI took them away as I saw fit.  
51 “Samaria did not commit ahalf of your sins; but you have multiplied your abominations more than they, and bhave justified your sisters by all the abominations which you have done.  
52 You who judged your sisters, bear your own shame also, because the sins which you committed were more abominable than theirs; they are more righteous than you. Yes, be disgraced also, and bear your own shame, because you justified your sisters.
53 a“When I bring back their captives, the captives of Sodom and her daughters, and the captives of Samaria and her daughters, then I will also bring back bthe captives of your captivity among them,  
54 that you may bear your own shame and be disgraced by all that you did when ayou comforted them.

No entry exists in Forerunner Commentary for Ezekiel 16:51.

Ezekiel 16:51-52

I am sure you caught that. Sodom is more righteous than Jerusalem. And by this same logic, Lot is more righteous than Sodom. From this perspective, we can more easily understand why Lot is called righteous three times by II Peter 2. By the way, sexual deviance is there in every case. It is an early symptom of turning your back on God, even before being turned over to a debased mind.
