| Ezekiel 16:51 | And Samaria committed not half thy sins: but thou hast surpassed them with thy crimes, and hast justified thy sisters by all thy abominations which thou hast done. | Justified, as they are comparatively innocent. (St. Augustine, contra Faust. 22:61.) --- They had not the like advantages, (Matthew 11:23.) nor the example of others' punishment to open their eyes. Thou hast pleaded for or with them, and hast lost thy cause. (Calmet) |
