Commentary on Ezekiel 16:51

Theological / Devotional

Justified thy sisters. This phrase should be understood comparatively. Compared with Judah, Sodom and Samaria appeared innocent, though they were not, of course, thereby acquitted. Men often seek to justify their own imperfect course by comparing themselves with others who, they assert, are more sinful than they. Such a course leads to ruin. They should compare themselves with only one standard, namely, the spotless character of Christ.
