Ezekiel 16:49

God's Covenant Grace To Unfaithful And Rebellious Israel

⁴⁸ By my life, says the Lord, Sodom your sister never did, she or her daughters, what you and your daughters have done. ⁴⁹ Truly, this was the sin of your sister Sodom: pride, a full measure of food, and the comforts of wealth in peace, were seen in her and her daughters, and she gave no help to the poor or to those in need. ⁵⁰ They were full of pride and did what was disgusting to me: and so I took them away as you have seen.
