46. Your older sister was Samaria, who lived with her daughters to the north of you, and your younger sister was Sodom, who lived with her daughters to the south of you.
47. Didn’t you walk in their ways and do their detestable practices? It was only a short time before you behaved more corruptly than they did.
48. “As I live” — the declaration of the Lord God — “your sister Sodom and her daughters have not behaved as you and your daughters have.
49. Now this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, plenty of food, and comfortable security, but didn’t support the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and did detestable things before Me, so I removed them when I saw this.
51. But Samaria did not commit even half your sins. You have multiplied your detestable practices beyond theirs and made your sisters appear righteous by all the detestable things you have committed.
52. You must also bear your disgrace, since you have been an advocate for your sisters. For they appear more righteous than you because of your sins, which you committed more abhorrently than they did. So you also, be ashamed and bear your disgrace, since you have made your sisters appear righteous.
53. “I will restore their fortunes, the fortunes of Sodom and her daughters and those of Samaria and her daughters. I will also restore your fortunes among them,
54. so you will bear your disgrace and be ashamed of all you did when you comforted them.
