Ezekiel 16:49-52
New American Standard Bible
49 Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had (A)arrogance, (B)plenty of food, and (C)carefree ease, but she did not [a]help the (D)poor and needy. 50 So they were haughty and committed (E)abominations before Me. Therefore I (F)removed them [b]when I saw it. 51 Furthermore, Samaria did not commit half of your sins, for you have multiplied your abominations more than they. So you have made your sisters appear (G)innocent by all your abominations which you have committed. 52 Also, bear your disgrace in that you have [c]made judgment favorable for your sisters. Because of your sins in which you acted (H)more abominably than they, they are more in the right than you. Yes, be also ashamed and bear your disgrace, in that you made your sisters appear innocent.

Ezekiel 16:49-52
New International Version
49 “‘Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom:(A) She and her daughters were arrogant,(B) overfed and unconcerned;(C) they did not help the poor and needy.(D) 50 They were haughty(E) and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.(F) 51 Samaria did not commit half the sins you did. You have done more detestable things than they, and have made your sisters seem righteous by all these things you have done.(G) 52 Bear your disgrace, for you have furnished some justification for your sisters. Because your sins were more vile than theirs, they appear more righteous(H) than you. So then, be ashamed and bear(I) your disgrace, for you have made your sisters appear righteous.

Ezekiel 16:49-52
King James Version
49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
50 And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.
51 Neither hath Samaria committed half of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thine abominations more than they, and hast justified thy sisters in all thine abominations which thou hast done.
52 Thou also, which hast judged thy sisters, bear thine own shame for thy sins that thou hast committed more abominable than they: they are more righteous than thou: yea, be thou confounded also, and bear thy shame, in that thou hast justified thy sisters.
