But, you continue to dismissively set forth an arrogant argument in attempt to justify yourselves, saying, "We're no worse than any other city." But, it is for that reason that very God's assessment is a bit different:
Ezekiel 16:51 (AMP)
Neither has Samaria committed half of your sins, but you have multiplied your [idolatrous] abominations more than they and have seemed to justify your sisters [Samaria and Sodom] in all their wickedness by all the abominable things which you have done - you even make them appear righteous in comparison with you.
Isaiah 30:15 (MSG)
GOD, the Master, The Holy of Israel, has this solemn counsel: "Your salvation requires you to turn back to me and stop your silly efforts to save yourselves. Your strength will come from settling down in complete dependence on me--The very thing you've been unwilling to do.
Urgency! God's counsel is always best.
Amen
