Eze 16:47 | CPDV | STEP | But neither have you walked in their ways. For you have done only a little less compared to their wickedness. You have acted almost more wickedly, in all your ways, than they have acted.

‏ Ezekiel 16:47

47 But neither have you walked in their ways. For you have done only a little less compared to their wickedness. You have acted almost more wickedly, in all your ways, than they have acted. ^{▼▼16:47In some ways, on some points of morality, the neighboring cities around Israel have been more wicked, and Israel a little less wicked. But as we learn in subsequent verses, in other ways, Israel has been much more wicked. The greater wickedness of Israel is perhaps due to their greater gifts; of those to whom more is given, more will be expected. Also, since Israel knows the one true God, when Israel commits idolatry, it is a much greater offense, even though the external acts might be a little less wicked.(Conte)}
