48. As I live," declares the Lord God, "Sodom, your sister 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 arrogance, abundant food and careless ease, but she did not help the poor and needy.
50. Thus they were haughty and committed abominations before Me. Therefore I removed them when I saw it.
51. Furthermore, Samaria did not commit half of your sins, for you have multiplied your abominations more than they. Thus you have made your sisters appear righteous by all your abominations which you have committed.
52. Also bear your disgrace in that you have made judgment favorable for your sisters. Because of your sins in which you acted more abominably than they, they are more in the right than you. Yes, be also ashamed and bear your disgrace, in that you made your sisters appear righteous.
53. "Nevertheless, I will restore their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and along with them your own captivity,
54. in order that you may bear your humiliation and feel ashamed for all that you have done when you become a consolation to them.
55. Your sisters, Sodom with her daughters and Samaria with her daughters, will return to their former state, and you with your daughters will also return to your former state.
56. As the name of your sister Sodom was not heard from your lips in your day of pride,
57. before your wickedness was uncovered, so now you have become the reproach of the daughters of Edom and of all who are around her, of the daughters of the Philistines-those surrounding you who despise you.
58. You have borne the penalty of your lewdness and abominations," the Lord declares.
