Ezekiel 16:49

Judgment on Jerusalem

48As surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, your sister Sodom and her daughters never did as you and your daughters have done.49Now this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed, and complacent; they did not help the poor and needy. 50Thus they were haughty and committed abominations before Me. Therefore I removed them, as you have seen.
