Ezekiel 16:48 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 16:48

46 “Your elder sister is Samaria, who dwells with her daughters to the north of you; and ^ayour younger sister, who dwells to the south of you, is Sodom and her daughters.

47 You did not walk in their ways nor act according to their abominations; but, as if that were too little, ^ayou became more corrupt than they in all your ways.

48 “As I live,” says the Lord God, “neither ^ayour sister Sodom nor her daughters have done as you and your daughters have done.

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.
