Ezekiel 16:49

God's Covenant Grace To Unfaithful And Rebellious Israel

⁴⁸ As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, 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 careless ease was in her and in her daughters, but she did not strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. ⁵⁰ And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me, and I took them away when I saw it.
