48. “As I live,” says the Lord God, “neither 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, fullness of food, and abundance of idleness; 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 fit.
51. “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.
52. 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.
53. “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,
54. that you may bear your own shame and be disgraced by all that you did when you comforted them.
55. 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.

57. before your wickedness was uncovered. It was like the time of the reproach of the daughters of Syria and all those around her, and of the daughters of the Philistines, who despise you everywhere.
58. You have paid for your lewdness and your abominations,” says the Lord.
59. For thus says the Lord God: “I will deal with you as you have done, who despised the oath by breaking the covenant.
60. “Nevertheless I will remember My covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you.
