Ezekiel 16:47-49
New English Translation
47 Have you not copied their behavior[a] and practiced their abominable deeds? In a short time[b] you became even more depraved in all your conduct than they were! 48 As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, your sister Sodom and her daughters never behaved as wickedly as you and your daughters have behaved.
49 “‘See here—this was the iniquity[c] of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters had majesty, abundance of food, and enjoyed carefree ease, but they did not help[d] the poor and needy.
