New Testament

Ezekiel 16:45-50 New Century Version (NCV)

45. You are like your mother, who hated her husband and children. You are also like your sisters, who hated their husbands and children. Your mother was a Hittite, and your father was an Amorite.

46. Your older sister is Samaria, who lived north of you with her daughters; your younger sister is Sodom, who lived south of you with her daughters.

47. You not only followed their ways and did the hateful things they did, but you were soon worse than they were in all your ways.

48. As surely as I live, says the Lord God, this is true. Your sister Sodom and her daughters never did what you and your daughters have done.

49. “ ‘This was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were proud and had plenty of food and lived in great comfort, but she did not help the poor and needy.

50. So Sodom and her daughters were proud and did things I hate in front of me. So I got rid of them when I saw what they did.
