45 Thou art thy mother's daughter, that lotheth her husband and her children; and thou art the sister of thy sisters, which lothed their husbands and their children: your mother was an Hittite, and your father an Amorite.

46 And thine elder sister is Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell at thy left hand: and thy younger sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.

47 Yet hast thou not walked after their ways, nor done after their abominations: but, as if that were a very little thing, thou wast corrupted more than they in all thy ways.

48 As I live, saith the Lord God, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters.

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.

45 You are a true daughter of your mother, who despised(A) her husband(B) and her children; and you are a true sister of your sisters, who despised their husbands and their children. Your mother was a Hittite and your father an Amorite.(C) 46 Your older sister(D) was Samaria, who lived to the north of you with her daughters; and your younger sister, who lived to the south of you with her daughters, was Sodom.(E) 47 You not only followed their ways and copied their detestable practices, but in all your ways you soon became more depraved than they.(F) 48 As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign(G) Lord, your sister Sodom(H) and her daughters never did what you and your daughters have done.(I)

49 “‘Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom:(J) She and her daughters were arrogant,(K) overfed and unconcerned;(L) they did not help the poor and needy.(M) 50 They were haughty(N) and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.(O) 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.(P)

48 As I live,” says the Lord God, “neither (E)your sister Sodom nor her daughters have done as you and your daughters have done. 49 Look, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: She and her daughter had pride, (F)fullness of food, and abundance of idleness; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. 50 And they were haughty and (G)committed abomination before Me; therefore (H)I took them away as [b]I saw fit.
