48. As surely as I live, says the Sovereign lord, Sodom and her daughters were never as wicked as you and your daughters.
49. Sodom’s sins were pride, gluttony, and laziness, while the poor and needy suffered outside her door.
50. She was proud and committed detestable sins, so I wiped her out, as you have seen.
51. “Even Samaria did not commit half your sins. You have done far more detestable things than your sisters ever did. They seem righteous compared to you.
52. Shame on you! Your sins are so terrible that you make your sisters seem righteous, even virtuous.
53. “But someday I will restore the fortunes of Sodom and Samaria, and I will restore you, too.
54. Then you will be truly ashamed of everything you have done, for your sins make them feel good in comparison.
55. Yes, your sisters, Sodom and Samaria, and all their people will be restored, and at that time you also will be restored.
56. In your proud days you held Sodom in contempt.
