48 I am the Lord GOD. As I live, I swear that your sister Sodom and her daughters never did as many bad things as you and your daughters.
49 “Your sister Sodom and her daughters were proud. They had too much to eat and too much time on their hands, and they did not help poor, helpless people.
50 Sodom and her daughters became too proud and began to do terrible things in front of me. So I punished them!
51 “And Samaria did only half as many bad things as you did. You did many more terrible things than Samaria! You have done so many more terrible things than your sisters have done. Sodom and Samaria seem good compared to you.
52 So you must bear your shame. You have made your sisters look good compared to you. You have done terrible things, so you should be ashamed.
53 “I destroyed Sodom and the towns around it, and I destroyed Samaria and the towns around it. And I will destroy you too, Jerusalem. But I will build those cities again, and I will rebuild you too.
54 I will comfort you. Then you will remember the terrible things you did, and you will be ashamed.
