^11 (A)“Her sister Oholibah saw this, and she became ^(B)more corrupt than her sister^[a] in her lust and in her whoring, which was worse than that of her sister.

⁸ She saw that for all the adulteries of that faithless one, Israel, ^(A)I had sent her away with ^(B)a decree of divorce. ^(C)Yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear, but she too went ^(D)and played the whore. ⁹ Because she took her whoredom lightly, she polluted the land, committing adultery with ^(E)stone and tree. ¹⁰ Yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah did not return to me ^(F)with her whole heart, but in pretense, declares the Lord.”

¹¹ And the Lord said to me, ^(G)“Faithless Israel has shown herself more righteous than treacherous Judah.

⁴ Oholah was the name of the elder and Oholibah the name of her sister. ^(A)They became mine, and they ^(B)bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Oholah is ^(C)Samaria, and Oholibah is Jerusalem.

^47 (A)Not only did you walk in their ways and do according to their abominations; within a very little time ^(B)you were more corrupt than they in all your ways. ^48 (C)As I live, declares the Lord God, your sister ^(D)Sodom and her daughters have not done as you and your daughters have done. ⁴⁹ Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, ^(E)excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy. ⁵⁰ They were haughty and ^(F)did an abomination before me. So ^(G)I removed them, when I saw it. ^51 (H)Samaria has not committed half your sins. You have committed more abominations than they, and ^(I)have made your sisters appear righteous by all the abominations that you have committed.
