8 She saw that for all the adulteries of that faithless one, Israel, I had sent her away with a fdecree of divorce. Yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear, but she too went and played the whore. 9 Because she took her whoredom lightly, she polluted the land, committing adultery with gstone and tree. 10 Yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah did not return to me with her whole heart, hbut in pretense, declares the Lord.”
11 And the Lord said to me, i“Faithless Israel has shown herself more righteous than treacherous Judah.
51 wSamaria has not committed half your sins. You have committed more abominations than they, and have made your sisters appear righteous by all the abominations that you have committed. 52 Bear your disgrace, you also, for you have intervened on behalf of your sisters. Because of your sins in which you acted more abominably than they, they are more in the right than you. So be ashamed, you also, and bear your disgrace, for you have made your sisters appear righteous.
