Jeremiah 3:8-11

8She saw that for all the adulteries of that faithless one, Israel, aI had sent her away with ba decree of divorce. cYet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear, but she too went dand played the whore. 9Because she took her whoredom lightly, she polluted the land, committing adultery with estone and tree. 10Yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah did not return to me fwith her whole heart, but in pretense, declares the Lord.”

11And the Lord said to me, gFaithless Israel has shown herself more righteous than treacherous Judah.

Ezekiel 16:47-51

47 hNot only did you walk in their ways and do according to their abominations; within a very little time iyou were more corrupt than they in all your ways. 48 jAs I live, declares the Lord God, your sister kSodom and her daughters have not done as you and your daughters have done. 49Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, lexcess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy. 50They were haughty and mdid an abomination before me. So nI removed them, when I saw it. 51 oSamaria has not committed half your sins. You have committed more abominations than they, and phave made your sisters appear righteous by all the abominations that you have committed.
