* "
Your elder sister is Samaria ,
who dwells with her daughters to the north of you ;
and your younger sister ,
who dwells to the south of you ,
is Sodom and her daughters .
*
You did not walk in their ways nor act according to their abominations ;
but ,
as if that were too little ,
you became more corrupt than they in all your ways .
* "
As I live ,"
says the Lord GOD , "
neither your sister Sodom nor her daughters have done as you and your daughters have done .
*
Look ,
this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom :
She and her daughter had pride ,
fullness of food ,
and abundance of idleness ;
neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy .
*
And they were haughty and committed abomination before Me ;
therefore I took them away as I saw fit .
* "
Samaria did not commit half of your sins ;
but you have multiplied your abominations more than they ,
and have justified your sisters by all the abominations which you have done .
*
You who judged your sisters ,
bear your own shame also ,
because the sins which you committed were more abominable than theirs ;
they are more righteous than you .
Yes ,
be disgraced also ,
and bear your own shame ,
because you justified your sisters .
* "
When I bring back their captives ,
the captives of Sodom and her daughters ,
and the captives of Samaria and her daughters ,
then I will also bring back the captives of your captivity among them ,
*
that you may bear your own shame and be disgraced by all that you did when you comforted them .
*
When your sisters ,
Sodom and her daughters ,
return to their former state ,
and Samaria and her daughters return to their former state ,
then you and your daughters will return to your former state .
